#FREE Kindle through 3/26/17 amzn.to/1EuAlTD
Yesterday I was asked if I'd like my story of
how or why I wrote The Time Between,
which is FREE through Sunday, March
26th to be shared on another authors blog! Aware that this is an interesting
tail, and not hearing back, I decided to share it here...
So,
to begin in the middle... since I was half way through editing Commitment for Two: The Naomi Chronicles,
Book Four, when I got the desire to write a sweet love story. You know, the
kind that makes you think, I wish I'd written that! Ops, if you’re
not an author that wouldn't make sense, so I’ll add, makes you think, I wish I were that gal!
The
title of the book was The Time
Between, which my hubby
loved. A little prodding from him, and I wrote the Back Matter, which was
nothing like I wanted it to be. However, having been called to write by God, I
was - if not eager - at least... So, I didn't do anything more until, and I'd
never done this before, I started searching for song titles that I'd use as
chapter titles.
All
the while I was still trying to edit a book that I couldn't focus on! A few
months of this and I'd had IT! One Friday, I thought, Okay, one weekend! That's all I'm
going to spend on this book!
Starting
the project, the words just flew from my fingers on to the word doc and at the
end of that weekend, the book - written in first person - was DONE!
It
being a VERY Short read, two of my friends listened as I read it. One, who's a
playwright told me that when I had the second and third acts she'd help me
learn her craft. The other - a retired school teacher, who's read all my books
told me, "This is your best work so far!"
Nice, hu? But, I know it was the image I
selected for the cover and the tagline that helped me overcome my, I can't write or publish that attitude.
However,
it wasn't until I listed to Derek Doepker's webinar that I gave myself
permission to own that I’d written a book about an important issue that some
who read my other books might not like! Because the issues in this work are
important, I'm glad I wrote it and look forward to the second in this three-book
series titled They Must See Me! although, I must share that once more I’m
not looking forward to writing it, so it’ll have to be another all in book
writing weekend to get this book on paper as well!
