I feel like jaws is circling me! But I have a big bat!!
O.k, so the fear and doubt haven't gone away, but my pride in my writing has increased.
Getting a FIVE STAR review from Reader's Favourite was a big thing for me,on top of Honourable mention - I mean, all that dithering - working on Echoes, leaving it nesting in a locked drawer - finding it, feeling that rush of energy for it, then being knocked back yet again by another agent and hiding my embarrassment away in the dark for yet another lengthy sentence.
And then, that day I said enough was enough - drawing my confidence like a sword from a heavy scabbard to finish my novel...and I did.
Believe me when I say, it wasn't easy. Thoughts of my son raced around my head joining in with fear, doubt and so many what ifs...but there was also hope, courage, resilience and determination and thankfully it was these that won. And now I've done it again - and I feel oddly quiet now, the dark before the dawn's glow to illuminate my writing path before me and Freya's Child and Echoes shall guide my way.
