Happy Father’s Day!
I’ve sat down at my computer so many times over the past three days trying to think of a way to start this blog and each time I’ve only written a couple of lines before I’m distracted with one thing or another. So here I am, watching SuperNanny and sitting down for the 13th time to try and get my thoughts on to this page.
I guess I should start with why I’m doing this. For a long time, reading and writing as been my escape. Life hasn’t always been easy for me and my family, like most people, this was my way of coping with the difficulties that life has thrown at me.
Writing has always been something I’ve done, whether its stories or scripts or lyrics to songs, I’ve done it all but something I haven’t done is to share my work with anybody else. It wasn’t until recently that I even told my family I was writing my first series of books. I think subconsciously I believed that if I shared it with somebody they would hate it and then the one thing that has kept me going over the years would be taken away from me.
Something in my life has changed over the past few months, I turned 21, I applied for college and I started to take back full control over my life doing the things I want to do. I have a goal now, I have a plan and its one that I’m working extremely hard to stick to.
Fighting for Forever is a title that represents me right now I’m fighting for what I want. I’m fighting to achieve what I want out of life. As human beings, we’re always fighting for something be it a war, a friendship, a job or for love. It’s in our nature to fight for what we need no matter how big or small the impact may have on the world. We’re Fighting for Forever.
So, what does this have to do with my book and why am I blogging it all? Well, I’m taking control. I’ve decided to open up and trust myself and my work. I know not everybody is going to like what I write but I’m not afraid to share it anymore because I like it and it’s ok if others don’t. A story that I’ve had in my head for over a year is finally making its way on to paper and I couldn’t be more excited. This blog is going to be my way of documenting my progress to finishing off the series and hopefully getting it published. I’m going to share all my highs and lows over the next year or so of competing in the difficult world of publishing in the hope that someday this can help another person reach their dream.
Right now, I’m writing up my first 10 chapters for my first draft. Even though I’ve written up my chapter plan and I thought I knew exactly what would happen, I’m still surprising myself with the different turns of events that my protagonist has faced. I’m anticipating myself how this story is going to turn out.
I hope you like it.
