Never Give Up On Your Dreams

 This book was the first Novel I wrote, finished and Self-Published.  I was rejected by every Major Publisher in New York City.  This was in the 1990's .  Fast forward to present 2021 I have more than 80 E-Books and Print Books Self-Published on Amazon.

The past month I have been working on my Latest Book, That Crazy Chicken Lady.  I wrote the rough draft.  I just had to rewrite some of it and start editing it.  The problem was that I didn't like the tone of the book.  It wasn't funny.  It was a good story, but deep down, I didn't like it.  So I changed the name of some of the characters and rewrote the entire book.  It is 60,000 words and I really like this book.  I think it will be a fun read.  A romantic comedy.

So why am I telling you this?

Because for a month, I wrote nothing.  I thought about writing as I was binge watching TV eating chips and dip.  At this point I didn't care if I wrote or not.  I was in a mood.  It was not Writer's Block, I think that is just an excuse.  I admit that I was in a mood and didn't care about much.

Then one day, I turned the computer on and then BAM!

I started writing.  The past two weeks I have been editing and rewriting scenes.  Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end.  The book is edited and now I have to Format the Manuscript.  

I used the KDP Book Cover so I don't have to buy a cover.

I want to publish the book in a week or two.  I already went to KDP and filled out everything to get my book published.  Book Blurb, Book Cover etc.

So I just want to let you know.  Don't ever give up your dreams.  Tomorrow is a new day.  Also you can start over again right now.  That is what I did.  

Yesterday, I wasted the morning and early afternoon, because I didn't feel like doing anything, then later I sat in front of the computer around 3:00pm until Midnight editing.

You just have to push yourself sometimes to do it.  Once I get started, I am good to go, it is the getting started that is my problem

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, NO MATTER WHAT  AGE IS NOT AN EXCUSE  KIDS ARE NOT AN EXCUSE LIFE IS NOT AN EXCUSE.
