I've always tried to think out of the box to assure I wouldn't get caught off guard. I've been on my own since I was 16, finishing school and making a living to survive. When you have no-one or anything to fall back on you can only afford so many risk in your life.
So when I was offered a chance to co-author a book with an already established published writer). I had to ask myself if I was ready to take a chance on life. I did the project is still ongoing.
We started out with an idea for a short story, which turned into a book and now we may be looking at a series. I'm on the biggest high I've ever had.
It's hard work and it's not so much the money (we all know how well first time authors make). It's just the joy of finding something I love, that feels so ingrained in me.
So what was the choice? Taking a chance on life, writing in an economy that isn't exactly promising with publishers tightening their belts.
One more addition to this life story, I went deaf 4 years ago. Thanks! Indigo
