Writing, like life, is a journey.
Things aren't always easy. Setbacks are inevitable. What matters is that we keep going, we keep forging ahead with the end goal in mind.
My end goal is to find a home for my first book, THE NIGHTBIRD. My journey started almost a year ago, when I quit my corporate job to write full time. Scary? You betcha. I'm living on my savings, with no safety net. But I believe in myself. I believe in my ability to write compelling stories with unforgettable characters. Writing is what I was meant to do. And to achieve that goal, to become a writer, I had to take the first step on that path. Looking back, I do not regret making that decision.
Finding an agent has reinforced it; I'm one more step closer to the goal. Am I still scared? You betcha. But I've come too far now to falter or turn back.
For me, this journey is a test of faith, determination, and guts. I'm glad you're here to make it with me.
