This blog is my first step in actually releasing my novel.
Eeek!
The thought is quite terrifying. Crippling even. I have been writing short stories from the time I was in my early school years, through to journals as I got older. I had always found writing enjoyable, and it was a great way for me to submerge myself in my much loved world of fantasy. 'Cut' from start to finish, took me about one and a half years to fully complete. Even now, I find myself continually tweaking it - which I know is the worst thing to do. I just can't seem to help myself. You see, besides being a mother, wife, worker and avid writer... I am also quite the perfectionist. A Virgo trait, if you are into astrology. Annoyingly so. I think this is why it has taken me so long to gain enough courage and confidence in my work to actually allow it to be read.
My very first novel will be released at the end of this year, with it's follow up 'Battle scars' coming the following year. I welcome you to my page where I will be posting excerpts of my story, or perhaps other books I am reading at the moment. I encourage your comments, constructive feedback, and am excited to be joining the literary community.
