INSPIRATION

What did you dream about the impact your book would make?
 After years of procrastination, doubts, frustrations, here is where I am.  I have to say, it was a wonderful decision to put myself out there and see what would happen.  It’s a question that always comes to mind.  ‘What if?’  I still have a few lingering questions for myself, but I try to keep positive thoughts and understand that it might be tough doing this all at first, but eventually it will be worth it.  
 
 What was your favorite book as a child? What book has changed your life?
 To be completely honest, I never really liked to read.  I did not have a favorite book as a child.  There wasn’t a book that changed my life.  Many people say you cannot be a writer if you do not like to read.  Well, I disagree with that.  I think it came from being forced to read certain books in school, I could never find anything that interested me.
 
What did you do to keep the faith about the project?
 When I was laid off from my job, all I would do is job search.  It would sometimes become tedious and I needed an outlet; something to keep me losing my mind.
 
Who was your biggest cheerleader for your writing when you began your project?
 My mom has always been my champion.  There were many times I wanted to give up, and she would be right there encouraging me to keep going.  She didn’t care if I sold zero books or a million, she never wanted me to give up on my dream; which I can say is pretty hard.
