Writing in the dark and seeking a light here resonates. So much of my process is trying to perfect my work until finally a lovely gem reaches my reader. My goal with substack is to experiment and share the messier in process pieces.

I remember when I finished my first novel. It was so surprising. Then I wrote another. Then another. The third, The Weight of the Gods, was the one I queried and to my surprise, it was picked up by a small publisher and is available on Amazon now.

Then I wrote a fourth and many short stories and flash pieces. Now, I am doing a hard rewrite of the first book, using what I learned from the others and ignoring the fifth one that I started but stopped working on because, well, I’m not sure where it’s going.

Life is a journey, and writing is a big part of it for me. I look forward to reading your story and hope you will find the time to read mine. And if I can offer one bit of advice, don’t over think yourself. Just write the story. There is time for editing later. Good luck!!

I'm looking forward to discovering how your writing develops, writing novels is such a complex and rewarding process with so many moving parts, but in the end it's an affirmation of your own voice, as I see it
