When you decide that you want to write a story, you want to take pen to paper or your fingers to the computer keyboard, success in any form begins with having an idea.
The first step is...
A story that can connect people from all walks of life, an adventure that carries people to another world, into another person's home, their life. A story that may or may not have a moral to it, a lesson to be learned, etc.
The first step is...
A story that has compelling, relatable characters. A story that has action and continues to move and build from the first page to the final punctuation point.
A question you have to ask yourself is, what is your reason for sitting down to write a book? For me, I want to prove to myself that even the biggest, most outlandish dreams can come true if you are brave enough to take that first step. Sure I am dealing with fear from every angle but I am willing, eager and excited to look past that and see where this daring adventure can take me. I would be lying if I said that I did not have high expectations. If I didn't I wouldn't be attempting this beast. I don't particularly have anything motivational or inspiring to talk about, other than the extraordinary power of your own imagination which is the beacon I live by, but in using my imagination I've come across a story that is truly incredible and fun...in my own very biased personal opinion of course.
I know that a lot of people now-a-days are writing blogs. Some may be hoping that everyone is reading them, some do it to get their emotions out of their system to help them move forward. Well, when it comes to this particular blog...I'm hoping that a ton of people do read it. Success happens by word of mouth...so if you like what I blog about, spread the word please!!
So in the next post I'll fill you in on where this blog is going to go.
