On a good note

A few weeks ago I was really down in the dumps. I thought about quitting my author title and letting go of the stress of not "succeeding". But having my readers/friends behind me really helped me rise above my struggles and my negativity. I am so grateful to each and every person who gave me a word of wisdom and who has stuck by me since day one. I couldn't and wouldn't be doing this without their support.
I still have my days of struggle, but that one week was a hard one. I've gone from stressing over money/books to now feeling much more settled and have been working on a better spending budget. I now have to make sure I am not overspending, yet I am able to still purchase what I want or need. I am in no means poor, but I still need to watch what I buy. That was my problem. Anywhooo enough of $$$ talk.

On another good note, Chasing Paige is now being edited. I completed writing this novel the other night. When I wrote "The End" the tears made their way out of my eyes, I haven't ever cried over finishing a book. This was a first for me. I believe it had to do with the fact that I did this for my mom, my aunt, my grandfather and for those that believe in me as a writer. Taking my style in another direction scares me so much that I am afraid of failing them/you. However scared I am, it all comes down to trying something new for myself. I enjoyed every word and page I wrote in Chasing Paige. There is a love story in there yet it still has some interesting twists to the plot that I believe you will enjoy - twists I didn't see coming in the beginning of writing CP. That's the beauty of story-telling - you have no idea where your characters or where the story is going to take you. My mind and imagination are always plotting and thinking of different scenario's for my books. It's a lot of fun.
So now that CP is done, I am kind of at a loss of what to do. I know I have things around my house that should be finished, but I am so very lazy. Plus it's been hot, who wants to finish painting their room when it's 100 degrees outside? Not me lol.

Well, time to start thinking of my prologue for Releasing Rhythm - downtown book 5 (Jason's story).. He's slowly getting ready to tell his story.. He's a bit closed up at the moment, not sure he wants to open up to the public. He's my dark horse, yet he needs to let it go. He needs to find love. He needs to be truly happy. I am excited!
Until then - happy reading!
