Will the story I’ve written hit all the right notes with someone who doesn’t know me and understand me on a personal level? I’m excited to find out.

Ten years ago, I didn’t feel the story had more to tell, but by beginning to work with it again—after having a decade away from it—I’ve been proven wrong.

As I took a look at the first draft of my novel after it sat in a drawer untouched for ten years, its weaknesses stood out to me.

It felt incredible to stand there and hold in my hands something I’d actually created, albeit yet unpolished.

It never ceases to amaze me how characters come to life, simply by fingers tapping keys on a keyboard.
