JUST WRITE!
When I wrote my first two novels I had no idea about pages/word count. I just wrote the story I needed to tell. Because of that I was able to convey the emotions and tell the story thoroughly. Now, that I know more about what goes into making a book publish ready, my eyes constantly go to the page number. I feel like I am in a crunch to complete the story in a a certain amount of pages. smh.... I have to get out of my own head and just allow the story to play out in order to not stifle the the story line and the reality around my characters. Dont let page count and word count over rule the integrity of your work as a whole. JUST WRITE THE STORY! This is some advice I needed for myself and decided to share. Anyway, I'm out for now, I have a story to tell..

New Years 2009
New Years day 2009, I finally decided to stop making excuses as to why I can not pursue my dreams to become a writer. At this point I had written stories but only for myself, never with the intent to become published. Mostly because I thought it just a dream. I was told it was an unrealistic goal and I need to focus my energy on more important things. I allowed those words mixed with my own doubt, that I could never meet the level of the authors that I love reading so much. If not for the encouragement of my best-friend, then on again off again boyfriend, Now Husband I would have never took on the task to complete at least one of the stories I started. On that day, I asked my mother to bring me her laptop (because I didnt have one) and started to piece together a story I had scattered in notebooks, post its, and in my email drafts. That story is "Love TORN Asunder" that was published April, 2011.
On my journey I was met with obstacles but all of them I managed with God as my guild and Jerome in my ear to keep me going. Many times I thought maybe this is not for me. You see when I started I had no idea of what it meant to become a published author. How to write a book in the proper format. What marketing would entail.
I wrote at the Library, I would go with my USB Port and type for as long as I could, I would research what little information I had. I would borrow my mothers computer for a few days at a time, and when I could do neither I wrote in a notebook. Along the way I met some people who assisted me along on my path and some who said they were but in reality that was never their intention. That is what brought on my Blog "Trials, Tribulations, and Torn". This is my literary Journal of the personal struggles I dealt with and the professional hurdles that I needed to clime.
Today going into 2012, I am the published author of 2 Novels, I started a Non-Profit project (which I believe is the reason I became a writer in the first place), I participated in an Anthology that has a purpose, I have contributed to blogs, web magazines, and I can only pray this upcoming year I am met with even more success on my Journey.
I am still learning, I am still a work in progress, but the point of this is that I took the step and did what needed to be done to make my dream a reality. I have no idea what type of career I will have going forward. All I know for certain is that I am blessed for what I have accomplished so far.
HAPPY NEW YEARS Everyone. My prayer is that You pursue your dreams and make it happen. Nothing happens overnight but with patients, determination, and ignoring all the BS anything is possible. :-)

I take writing seriously.
As a reader I fell in love with the ability to get so lost in a story that you become invested in the characters. Since finally deciding to pursue my dream to be a writer, I have a new found respect for the detail, research, and work that goes into building a story, Developing the characters, using description to place the reader inside the pages. I take this seriously and prayerfully as I grow and continue on this path, so will my skills to accomplish all these qualities I have grown to admire.
