The idea to write a book came from Chandler Bolt, when he was speaking at a seminar. He’s the founder of Self Publishing School and the author of the book Published. At first, I was intimidated by my lack of experience writing. I wanted to hire a ghostwriter. However, the SPS coaches advised me that the book would come out better if I learned how to write it myself. Their love of writing was contagious! I started learning to write. I received great coaching from Ramy Vance, Andrew Biernat, Nate Hambrick, and other authors. I’m eternally grateful. It was enlightening to learn that what makes a story fascinating is for the reader to get inside the protagonist's head to know what he or she is thinking or feeling and the internal conflicts in their decisions. And it was engrossing to learn the time-tested structures for good storytelling. Now I love writing! My current book doesn't measure up to my dream--it's a work in progress. But it’s my fondest hope that you both enjoy it and get inspired. If you don’t like it, tell me why. If you do like it, please tell the world in an Amazon review.
