Some people may not see what the big deal is since it hasn't been published yet but for me it is an amazing step toward a life goal. I recently decided college wasn't for me since I've been struggling with an illness. So, I've decided to start my own book tour company and write a book. Every now and then I get a little doubt in the pit of my stomach that makes me wonder if what I did was right. Actually finishing the first draft of my novel tonight really assured me that I have what it takes to make my dream come true of being a professional author.
When I'm not writing or booking tours I spend a lot of time trying to shape up my writing skills and reading about how to promote books and such so, i have no plans of slowing down on my goals.. I am a little afraid of the editing world I'm about to step into but I've heard a lot of good things about that so really, I have very little fear. Plus I have an awesome editor, Zari Banks, behind me who I know is going to help shape up my novel into the fabulous piece of work I know it can be.
So many people have been supportive of my dream to finish this novel and I can not say thank you enough!! So yes, I'm feeling a little bit like this right now:
CONGRATULATIONS, JANIERA!!!! You should be so proud of yourself, this is a HUGE accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteI remember the moment I finished my first draft of my first novel, and how amazing it felt. I'm pretty sure I did a little dance and ate a plate of celebratory cookies.
WOOHOO! This calls for a celebration!
Thanks! I did a little happy dance and ate a few pieces of awesome chocolate! Thinking of ways to celebrate right now. =)
