The past few days have been remarkably busy for me. I wrote a song, worked on my story (only 4 chapters to go!), and worked on pencil drawings, most notably the cover for my novella. :) Mom edited the book, which was really nice of her, and I might just get it self-published before this Christmas! Which would be appropriate, since it's a winter/Christmas story. I'm going to be using CreateSpace, which is neat because we know someone who has done it, it's FREE, and your book gets listed on Amazon. I've never done this before, so we'll see how it goes...
But doesn't get much better than that, in my opinion, especially since I don't care about making money. At the moment, I'm mainly interested in just getting my stories published and making them affordable to buy. I write because I love a good story, and I love being able to tell a good (hopefully!) story to others. I write because many of us still want to read books with Christian moral standards and good messages. I write because I think was meant to be a writer (and I say that quite humbly...I'm also my own biggest critic and can literally find a fault on every page).
I still have a lot to learn, a long ways to go, and by no means is it easy. I have other obligations which have to come first. But you know, I don't do it because it's easy. :D
Rebelling against stagnation,
