Such a great way to start a story right? The fairy tales we grew up with always started that way. And when you read the words... "Once upon a time..." you KNEW the story was going to whisk you away.
So here is my once upon a time...
As a kid I would tuck myself away somewhere quiet and make up stories in my head. At that time it was about some princess in a far away land waiting for her prince (Eye roll...typical) or weird things like...what IF you owned a small box equipped with a button. And maaaaybe you wanted something to appear like a car...well you would make a wish and push the button and the box would transform into your desire. *Insert crazy here*
Anyway -- my point is, that desire to imagine never really went away...let's just call it a long hibernation. In August of 2015 a romance storyline hit me between the eyes like the slumber of my creativity awoke suddenly. For several months I wrote a story that looking back I did not know I had in me. Well, the characters actually just told me what to write, so I listened. ;)
SO... this is me today...just over 1 year later...still trying to figure out what to do with it all. It has been a struggle learning as much as I could about writing and publication and Oh...the writing process as a whole! It is challenging work especially while working a full time job. I have a new found respect for established authors! This is NO JOKE.
So my once upon a time, my story, journey or what ever you want to call it is happening right now, everyday. And I hope you will share it with me. Whether you want to know what the ups and downs feel like or just like connecting with a romance writer I hope I can provide you with a snap shot of my life and a finished novel at the end.
All my love~
