A second post for today ! Shocking !

Since my two year old has my tablet confiscated I am going to write another post! He is watching old cartoons on netflix so hubs can play COD (Call of Duty)...which is fine, but it leaves me without my writing thing. lol Thing as in tablet! Lately I have been on fire with inspiration to finish my book, which CAN be a task when you are trying to keep a toddler from getting into disasters, clean, cook, do domestic crap...and of course, work part time. I am at 43xxx words, a little over half way done! Who knows if my book will be worthy of publishing, but this is the MOST I have ever written or come CLOSE to finishing a story. Writing has always been a passion of mine, I wrote stories when I was a child. I have kept a diary since I was 10 years old...and now I am hoping to become a published author in the next few years. HOPE is the key word here. I don't know if it will ever happen, I might just get rejection after rejection, BUT, I'll never know if I don't try. Worst that can happen is I have to self publish, which nowadays really ISN'T that bad. There is a whole new network of blogs and online author groups who self publish and are successful at it. SO I have hope, even if it just means I get to have a copy of my OWN book sitting on my shelf. Or two copies, or three...okay maybe ten. Writing is one of my true loves. It acts like one too, a love that is. It gets me mad, makes me want it, takes me to bed late, I hate it, I miss it, and best of all, I can't live without it. I have went from 15xxx puny words in the beginning of November 2014 to what I have now. NANOWRIMO really helped me this year, even though I didn't make it to the 50xxx words to get my badge for this year...it kick started me and my fingers haven't stopped typing since. Never before have I been able to focus on ONE story, usually I skip around and thats why NOTHING ever gets finished. I also became part of a local writers group and they have helped me immensely, even if it was just to keep me going. It has been inspirational! I am giving my pre-pre-pre-pre beta reader story to a girl in that group for review, I really think I am ready for some feedback. I am hoping it won't be too scary, I told her to be gentle, I still have to finish this thing. Ha.
