My interest in writing started at a young age with poetry and songs I would write in high school. I have always had a strong passion for reading, especially supernatural media. When I was a child I practically lived in my own world, people thought I made up lies but for me it was more real than any reality I had ever known.
For years I have struggled to write a novel and for years I have failed. I always thought it would never be good enough for anyone else to read so why bother. That poor attitude is why I never finished anything I started. The ideas were there but I never followed through.
This year I sat down and I wrote for myself only. I wrote a book I would want to read, I used my imagination to engineer a story I would find interesting as a reader. It was hard work, I disciplined myself to write and read every day. When I finished my novel at 75k words I thought I was done. The work had just begun.
