More Words to Live By

This is a little surreal, writing here. For the last two years, I had moved all of my writings to a Wordpress "real" website, and never-not once, did I find myself comfortable with the format. I'm a blogger girl at heart - always have been - and because I'm literally locked out of my other site, I'm back here.

Yes, there's a story there, but I'm not getting into it with you.

I'm too happy doing what I love and remembering why I started writing so long ago. It all started with a blog and literally one reader (thank you Ping!).

I haven't always believed I was a writer, yes, even after this past year, and it still surprises me when someone tells me they like my book(s). It took me so long to share anything with anyone, and now they're just out there for the world to see.
It can be a bit daunting for someone who still refuses to tell people I meet that I'm a writer. I'm not sure that little voice in the back of my head will ever truly believe the writer in me.

And I don't think I'm alone.

So, that's why I have decided to tackle the subject of those nagging voices in our heads that stop us from dreaming in my next book, To Live in This World. It will be the third and final book in the Frankfort Beach series, and this one will be told from Julia's point of view.

I really believe every one of us has a dream of some sort, but never go after them. And I get it... it's not easy to carry the faith needed to believe in something before it's real. My goal is to figure out how to break it down and present it in a way that inspires and motivates, with the occasional giggle.

Tall order for someone with a cranky voice in her head, if you ask me.

On the plus side, I'm 99.9% certain no one will die in this book either, so there's that to celebrate :)

I hope this day finds you well and reading something spectacular... Please comment and let me know what you're reading.

Happy Reading!
