What started out as a fun thing to write a story for my coworker's two girls turned out to be a more serious endeavor. I have been inspired by others to self publish my paranormal romance. And that too, I came upon by accident when I was reading a forum for writers. One writer didn't speak favorably about another author, but the said author was "making her millions". When I checked out this author, she had a great passion for writing, so much so that she got her books out there so fast and didn't edit them as well as she should have. But still her style was very down to earth, easy to read and enjoyable.
One day I was sitting at work, doing my repetitive boring job. My mind sought escape in other things. I thought to myself that I wondered why no one wrote about vampires in Florida, the state where I presently reside. That was the seed that was planted in my mind that began the journey. I am fortunate to have a coworker who happens to be a fan of the Twilight Saga and Vampire Diaries and adores creepy films. She has two young daughters; the older one gives me feed back from a young person's perspective. So it was good to bounce ideas off of them both.
I am presently wrapping up the first novel. It needs more embellishment and a better ending. I also would like to fool around with the cover more. I like using a sepia color, making it look old. But anyway, this blog serves as a presence on the web concerning my writing. I don't yet consider myself a writer. I haven't even taken any special college courses in this field. And I'm a terrible speller. But I've been told that if I connect with people, the formality of higher education doesn't matter. But it wouldn't hurt either. But I have to continue to discipline myself to set aside time for writing and wrapping up this project.
