MY FIRST BLOG ENTRY: WHY I DO WHAT I DO
Hello WORLD!
I'm Cindy Hurst: Mom, research analyst, writer, author, Navy officer, runner, gardener, cancer survivor, promoter, jane-of-all-trades, and I'm blonde.
Now that my first novel, Berlin Dancer, is finally out, I'm also a blogger since that seems to be the next step in this process of trying to go from oblivion to breakout author in one fell swoop. Of course, who am I kidding? It doesn't happen that way. Most authors remain in oblivion and never seem to go beyond their tight circle of friends. It's a sad reality.
Having put an inordinate amount of time and work, especially research, into Berlin Dancer (I'm insanely obsessed with getting every detail perfect in everything I write) I'm determined to make it a success. I want to share the twists and turns of the story with the world, so that others can feel what I felt as the story unfolded. I also want them to fall in love with the characters. So far so good according to reviews on Amazon.
I hope you will come back as I keep you updated and share with you some of my many adventures in and thoughts about writing. Really! Writing can be an adventure. I've also learned many lessons over the years, and am still learning! Feel free to ask questions as the answer might make a perfect blog entry!
I will soon have another blog (same information, but more easily accessed), connected to my website cindyhurst.com.
