With the ink barely dry on my Honorable mention in the 2009 3 Day Novel Contest, I have already come up with part of the story line for my next book.As with last year, it is inspired by a situation that I feel I have an interesting way to explore.
I found this picture and I think it truly explains what is in the head of one of my characters. The same one who is inspired by my dear friend who just took his own life.
I am not sure exactly how I will explore what is in my head and heart, but I do believe that the prices of the choices we make, are again a topic I want to explore.
I have been focusing so much on my business lately that I haven't taken the time to do any writing. I have missed it and feel ready to get back to it. I want to work on getting the re-writes and edits done of last years edition. The Honorable Mention and the personal email and handwritten note I received in the mail are positively fuelling me to move forward past the fears I used to have about actually being a success at this. I am not afraid any more. I am absolutely ready for this, I want this and will bring it into my life. It is time.
