Where to Begin? A Fresh New Start...

I have so much stuff on my mind I just don't know where to begin. I'm starting my journey off with something fresh and exciting for me, this will be my very first time ever writing a book. How exciting is that? I just can't wait to get started; a lot of fresh new exciting and shocking twist is stored up in my mind just waiting to come out on paper. I am saving up money to buy a flash drive so that I could save my work, once I have my flash drive I could bring it with me and work outside my home. But for right now I'm looking up information about how to write a book and what are the formats of a book. How do I publish a book I know it's a bit early but hey it's always good to know.

I had a great lost with my last story I started at the beginning of the year. I was half way done with my story until I made the biggest mistake and now it’s lost forever. I cried my eyes out on that day I tried everything to get it back but there was no hope. My family encouraged me to move on and to stay strong my mom said to me "It's okay you can always write another story you got it". At that point in time I didn't want to hear that I was so angry at myself I was going to just give up and not try anymore. But I realize why be upset I made the mistake I tried everything to get it back; it didn't work so there was nothing I could do about it. Until one day my sister's boyfriend encouraged me saying "Hey I remember when I was playing a game and it erased all my memory but I still have it all in my head and I started all over" he said "You can do it, it's all in here". And he pointed to his head I was like thanks I really needed that. So instead of keeping my head down I will lift up my head and start my journey fresh.

  1. This is sooooo cool!! I always wanted to write a book but could never get it started. Lots of ideas swirl around in my head but trying to capture them and put them down on paper never seemed to work for me. So I pushed it to the back of my mind. But you!! You are daring to do it!! I am proud of you for taking the first steps. I can't wait to read it.

  2. Thanks Tish I appreciate the encouragement, I know you can did it also, just talk to God about it. Also if your passionate about it and put your mind to it you can take all the thoughts and ideas, out from the back of your head blow the dust off and put them on paper. :)
