Self Belief

Today is a big day for me. I have finally had the courage to press the submit button for my first novel, Out of the Blue. It now awaits approval from Amazon before hopefully going live on Kindle ebooks.

I cannot express enough the appreciation, I have for all those who have shared my journey, listened to my musings and my ‘one day I will make it happen.’ To my beautiful family for all their endless support. My friends who have read bits, offered their feedback and willed me on.

Of course, until it is actually live I’m still on the cusp. At least I’m almost there.

Now I am busy on the next story. Early days but the threads are there.

It will be fantastic to be published but for me it is about the writing of the story. The itch to be scratched when characters begin to take shape. Becoming lost in their world and their dilemmas.

My mum always believed that if you wanted something badly enough, you had to keep working at it and believe it could happen. I hope she is somewhere in the great cosmos nodding and hopefully saying, ‘You see, I knew you could do it, you just had to persevere.’

The world is full of stories, real heart wrenching and uplifting stories of everyday people and it is those people who inspire me.

My new heroine Alice, has her own story developing. A wish to be fulfilled and yet find a way to live her own life. A real will she won’t she?

Stay safe out there and thank you for dropping by.
