Love what you do, do what you love.

Okay, so, I haven’t exactly been keeping up on here seeing as my last post was about two years ago. A lot has happened since then.

For starters I’m still happily unpublished. My books are going great and I’m still writing up a storm, but I haven’t had “getting them out there” as such a priority. They’ve always been more of a hobby than anything and something that I do for myself.

When my first book was finished I sent it off to four Literary Agencies and unfortunately got three no’s and one no response. The first “No,” felt like a punch in the gut. It was something that I really struggled to get over for a few weeks. It felt like it was something final. The end to a career that really hadn’t even started. Every writer thinks that their first book is the best thing in the entire world and that someone would be crazy to shoot them down, and that’s the trap that I fell into also, despite my best efforts. What I learned is that no one can give me a final answer. No one can tell me that my work isn’t good enough and there is always someone else who will say yes.

After that I decided to stop trying so hard to get someone to say yes. I’ve been a lot more productive this way. And everything happens in it’s own time.

There have been more unexciting things in my life but I’ll save the rest of my adventures for another time.

I just wanted to blog before I actually start writing the last chapter of my novel. Like i’ve said before, it’s been an amazing road towards this moment. I set a goal for myself a year ago and i’m going to acomplish it today. This is the best feeling in the world. I never would’ve thought in my wildest dreams that this day would actually come and though I’m sad to see it end I know that there’s just so much more to come for me in the future. That’s all for now, I’m sure I’ll blog about everything soon.

So everything has been going good.

The good is that my novel is on the verge of being done, and i’m stoked! I don’t think i’ve spent more than a few mere hours away from my computer in awhile, i’ve been writing non stop! I have had so much fun while writing this past year and I don’t want it to end but I know that I’m only going forward onto bigger and better things in this industry. Another good thing is that i’ve been talking to some authors lately who have given me some much needed advice on everything that will happen in the future! I’m always excited when I have the oppertunity to talk to someone new and learn what they can teach me.

My writing has opened me to a whole new world of music that I had never read into before. I love all new things and have a new outlook on what music means. It’s amazing to know how much one simple idea can change your entire life.
