Good Day

Three years ago, in the summer of 2009, I sat down to write a story about a girl who falls in love with a library ghost. I'd written before, but had always given up due to lack of confidence, lack of interest and just the general interruptions of life. But this time I never got that deflated balloon feeling—the kind where your idea slowly leaks out into nothing. This time I was filled with a great excitement over what would happen next. To her, to him, to everyone. I remember the night I stayed up until 3 a.m. writing the ending. It was intense (just like my face in the mirror after such little sleep). I was proud, and thrilled and, well, a little bit sad. I didn't want to say good-bye to any of the characters. Little did I know I would be editing for nearly three years and would want to kick those same characters in the butt with a sledgehammer!

Today The Soul Seekers comes out in print. The circle is complete. I think back through these last three years and it is my blogger friends who have kept me going through it all. Thank you.

Karen over at Coming Down the Mountain: A Writer's Blog has written a beautiful post today. She was instrumental in The Soul Seekers being accepted for publication, and I owe her a million thanks for her help!

I know I'm supposed to go out and have a celebratory dinner and bottle of wine, but I'm more apt to celebrate by working on the sequel. Gotta get that sucker finished!

Take care everyone. Here's a tip of the glass to you! Thank you for the love.
