Fighting for your dream

   As some of you if not all the ones who read this know I have been fight hard for my dream of being a famous author. I still am fighting but so far have no reached it. I know there is the chance I will not make it but there is also a chance I will make it. So I fight for my dream, I set small goals to help me reach my dream. I meant one goal I have a book published one I had been working on for way longer then most thought I should have been. The book is New Life By The Full Moon, I am still working on the goal to make enough money to pay for the editing of my books. With Covid-19 it has become harder to sell my book since all the events I was planning on this year were canceled. 


 But I haven’t given up I still promote my book every way I can on line. I talk to people when I am out on the rare occasion about my book and my writing. I give out business cards when I can. I continued to work, I worked on getting the second book in the series edited Life By The Blood Moon. But have to save the money to get it published just like I did the last one, through a hybrid publisher. I am also writing untitled book 3 in the series.

  I am not saying it is easy, no I am telling you the complete opposite it is extremely hard. There were times I wanted to give up and many times I almost did. What stopped me from quitting on my dream you may be asking. My hubby telling me he will always support me in my dreams whatever they may be. The look I get from my kids when they ask me how many words are in my book and I tell them over 50,000. The fact my daughter wants to be a writer as well. “Just like mom” as she tells others. My mother in law who enjoys reading what I write and is my beta reader and personal editor for grammar and punctuation. My friends who get excited about my accomplishments in writing. The ones in my life who buy my book because they refuse to let me give it to them. Even if they never read it. They want to be able to say I am friends with the author.

  This doesn’t go just for writers this goes for anyone who has a dream, you have to fight for it and believe me it will not be an easy fight but it will be worth it when you reach your dreams. It’s time for me to go get back to working towards my dreams.


Happy reading

April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the ...

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

May

  So far May is going well, my first event this month was on the 4th, it went well I sold 11 books and got to talk to interesting people. my next event is on May18th, it is taking place in Maryville IL. I am doing this event for the first time; I am hoping it is a good event for me.     I have been working on redoing my vampire book which was pulled from print years ago the title is still Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale. I finished up doing the self-edit and adding some details all on paper. I need transcribe it to the document on my laptop. I am going to try and get it out by the end of the year so i can possibly get Lovebug's life story out the following year.   I don't have a whole lot more to say at this time. I hope you all have a great day happy reading  happy writing
