Be the change

Cherish the Past-another positive rev... Today we remember

Be the change

My husband and I have invested in my passion. We did it, because I was passionate about inspiring others, and he believes in me! Over the past ten months I have poured a lot of time, money and energy into writing my first two novels, and getting my blog going. I’m proud of what I have done!

Not everyone will get it, and that’s ok. We are all at different places in life and we all learn differently, that’s just how it is. Imagine how boring it would be if we all loved the same thing to eat, drink or read. I just can’t imagine a world like that! I prefer each to have opinions and favourites. To be able to be ourselves, in a compassionate caring world. A pipe dream perhaps, but we won’t know if we don’t try.

I have two novels published, Cherish the Past and Live for Today. They are both inspirational contemporary romance suitable for teen through adult. They are written in a journaling style, and are meant to help guide individuals who need some help believing in themselves. Readers are telling me I have succeeded in inspiring them. Reviews have been positive, and it is uplifting to me as the author to hear these comments.

My advice is simple. Think about what you are saying. Try your best to be a positive influence on everyone, there is no reason to crush the dreams of an author, provide positive feedback instead. There is far too much “bashing” going on via social media and “unbiased” anonymous reviews by readers. I just don’t understand the competitiveness, it is a tight market. But if you are meant to succeed and are good at what you do, you will be successful. Put your heart and soul into your work, listen to your fellow authors comments, work at improving your skills. You will attract what you put out!

Some of you will chuckle that this piece of advice is coming from a new author, but I’m just talking about what I see, and trying to promote a better environment for us all. I’m not a best selling author, nor will I likely ever be, but I believe I have something to share and I am passionate about it. If I touch the heart of one reader, the novel is a success and I know they has already happened. I have tons of lessons to learn, many stories to hear, and will continue on this journey until my passion takes me elsewhere. I hope you will join me in encouraging the dreams of everyone, and being the change we know needs to happen.
