I only have a few chapters left to write in my first novel.  I'm finding that my confidence is fluctuating greatly at this point.  I've allowed a few close friends to have a copy of what I've…Continue

Today I wrote two of the most beautiful words I'd written in my book so far...The End.After nine months, I finally finished my first novel. Yes, I cried. Yes, I felt a crazy satisfaction that I'd never known before. Yes, I still have some editing to do, but it's done. The story has been told and now I turn the page to the new adventure of finding an agent and publisher. At this point, I feel that the hardest part is done. Patience is all I need for the next part of the journey.Today...I feel…See More

Danielle, I say that when the day arrives that you quit caring what people will think is the day to stop writing for an audience. If you didn't care about your work, you wouldn't be worried about what they thought. It shows you do care.…

Chapter 2 - Dimensions of Genesis

The pressure on his chest always came first. A deep-seated panic washed over him as he became lucid within his dream.Water. Floundering in an ocean of liquid, smothering him from all sides. All his senses dulled by the fluid, trapping him within its suffocating density.Frantic for a breath of air, his lungs blazed with pain.

To awaken the Wave that carries the seed

The seed of… Continue
