I feel bad that I missed putting up a post on Friday. I made a commitment and I am supposed to honor my commitments. Or at least have a decent excuse for when I can't. I don't have a decent excuse, unless you count going to bed at 7pm in the evening due to not feeling well as an excuse. I'm not going to count it for now and say that I really want to give my best to doing what I say I will do.
In personal news I am making a commitment to find a way to have more time for me to write. I could write a full size novel, or two novellas per year if I could write full time. I may be able to write even more than that, who knows. But the idea that I could have a multitude of books published is an awesome thought indeed.
On Saturday I sold two books (one Jeremy's Kiss and one Island Of Regrets) to a mother and daughter. The daughter aspires to be writer, and she asked me to sign the book for her, and very shyly asked me if I would be willing to read something she has written.
I realized if I had the chance to meet and speak with authors I admire and look up, I would be beyond honored for them to read what I have written and give me feedback.
I don't know how those authors would feel, but I know how this young woman made me feel. Very honored.
I hope I hear from her and get to read what she has written. I will give her honest and sincere feedback and do everything I can to help her see her dreams come true. I know how difficult it is to be a writer. I know the struggling hours, and I know that the pay is not very good until one achieves name recognition. The passion is still there though. The stories are in my head and simply need to be written down (and thoroughly edited, and formatted, and fixed, and finally published).
