I finally did it! LOL I started writing a book. I will also start typing my hand written work so I can put it into a book too. I so proud of myself. It'll probably take me a while considering I haven't written anything other than poems and stuff off the top of my head in many years. I know what I want the book to portray and the characters personalities to be. So I have a starting place.
Look forward to seeing my book on book shelves near you. I have no idea how to go about publishing a book, but will cross that bridge when I get to that point. Right now I'm working on both books and plan to have both at publishing phase in 2008.
A recap for any readers who don't know. I've been writing since elementary school. My mother has some of my very first work. I use to fill spiral notebooks with stories and poems. In high school I didn't write as much. Though I did keep a very detailed journal. In college I picked up writing again. I have been planning to organize my work from the last ten years into a book. It took me all of last year to get it all into one three ring binder. Now I need to type them since they are all hand written.
Getting my thoughts and feelings out on paper is how I got into writing. I got so use to using pen and paper, I continued to write only in that way until now. The fictional book I'm writing will be the first thing I've typed instead of written as I came up with it. I'm excited that it's my first book, as an adult, and work typed.
I've always wondered if my hobby could become a career. Or atleast bring in some cash. I've always believed God gives us all gifts to share. It's about time I share mine. Atleast with more than just my family and friends.
