YES!

New Start

It almost feels appropriate to start my first day of National Novel Writing Month with a hangover. The main character in my novel is an alcoholic who is five years sober. The pain and regret from drinking reminds me how the protagonist used to feel when his life was out of control. While he has been living clean, there are always other problems that lead to conflict and pose challenges when keeping demons in check.

I don't know exactly where this novel will head, but I've decided to let it play out each day as I write. A story like this doesn't need some gimmick to work. It's not a form of popular fiction that steals from other ideas that have seen success. It's about life and all of its imperfections and the people who can make it better or worse.

At Last

I've spent years trying to get published the old fashioned way.  After a while, the rejection certainly takes its toll.  Instead of continuing to wait, I decided to go at it on my own.  There are many more options available for writers.  This is especially true for writers who care more about getting their work out than becoming rich and famous.  Let's face it: most writers don't have such levels of success no matter how good they are at their craft.

My first novel, The Other Side of Grand, is now available through Amazon Kindle.  I'll let the work speak for itself.
