Maybe it won't work out. Maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever." |
Four years ago I veered away from my day job in corporate communications to scratch out the first words of my novel, The Wonderful Topperweins. It's been a scary and exhilarating ride of manic highs and lows--the blank screen, the well-turned sentence, a simple thought you cannot express after ten rewrites, the aha! moment where you understand your lead character's inner turmoil, and that realization you're getting it done followed by a sentence so bad you wonder how you passed seventh grade English.
The Wonderful Topperweins is now a completed manuscript looking for an agent and publisher! In the meantime, I've written and published short stories and poems, a blog about the best dogs in the universe, while at times putting my foot back in the high tech world as a technical writer and editor. |
