...one chapter at a time! So today I completed chapter 14 in my novel. This is so super exciting for me. I'm STOKED right now. I had to walk away and marvel at this chapter. I have to say that things just got a big shove into "a lot more interesting"
I had to blog about this crowning achievement in my short writer life. I wanted to share with you the excitement I felt at writing something that blew even ME away and I WROTE IT!!! Not only are my characters becoming "real" but the story is "coming to life"... no joke! Today it just leapt off the screen and into my fingers. I feel like I need a beer or some sort of small gratifying award for this. (Chocolate Sundae from Campbell's or Coldstone's... any takers??) I'm so stoked, seriously. It was worth it to push forward, ignoring my messy, unedited chapters, and taking Laura's advice to continue on.
I'm so glad that God gave me the talent to write --or the drive --or the idea --or whatever it was that He programmed into me. I give God glory that this story brings me joy to write it. Its also allowed me to discover a few things about myself that I'd never known. I encourage every person to at least start the journey of writing a story. Wow... just wow. I have a huge smile on my face right now.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day! :)
There is no better feeling than doing something amazing that you never thought you were capable of (or knew you were capable of but never brought to life). I am so exited for you and am eager to hear about your progress!
