You'll be fine good luck with your story!! I would be interested in reading your story though.
Thank you for the encouragement!Good morning on Groundhog Day! It is rainy and grey here in Tennessee but a pleasant 56 degrees.
I started a story that begins on Groundhog Day. For now it is call 'Jonah'. I posted it under my writing. It is still work-in-process, but please check it out. Here is an excerpt:
__________________________________
“Have a seat, or I might think you are rude.” She teased. Not in a hurry to go back out in the freezing night, he sat a careful distance away. He knew what he looked like. He was very tall, too skinny, and some thought menacing. His beard was uneven and tangled. His clothes were dirty underneath a green army jacket.
“I am Grace.” She held out her hand. He gave it one quick shake and stared down at the table. “No name, hun?” She was teasing again.
“My name doesn’t matter.” He needed to put distance between him and her kindness. Kindness was a slow, sweet poison in his world. “I am homeless, lady. You can’t save me. I don’t NEED to be saved.”
She didn’t react with shock or anger. “You look like a ‘John’ or maybe a ‘James’. Something old testament.”
He groaned, “Jonah, my name is Jonah.”
“Jonah.” She said with unexpected delight. “Perfect.”
He sighed and ate the muffin. He had met her type before. She’d lose interest eventually and quit trying to rescue the poor homeless man. He resolved to face the typical questions do-gooders ask. Questions like, “How long have you been on the streets? Do you have any family? Do have drug or alcohol problem?” But again she surprised him.
“Do you think the ground hog will see his shadow tomorrow?”
He swallowed his coffee too quickly and coughed, “I don’t know.”
“I hope he does?”
“Which is that? Short winter?”
“No, its supposed to mean six more weeks of winter, but the ground hog is only forty percent accurate.” She looked so serious, he had to hold back a grin. Then she exclaimed in discovery. “Maybe, we have it reversed. Did anyone ever ask the groundhog? Maybe if he sees his shadow it really means an early spring. Then the ground hog will be right sixty percent of the time.”
“I’m sure the ground hog would appreciate that.”

I just made my first quiz! It's a short four questions that covers the first three chapters (the posted preview) of 'Solstice Night'.So if your feeling daring, or extremely bored...give it a try.
Good morning! I have a correction on "Solstice Night"'s release date. It was originally set for Feb. 26 is now Feb. 29th.
I love it. Leap Year!
I would like to welcome you to read the first three chapters of my debut novel, "Solstice Night". I have posted it with my goodreads profile.
I never intended to be an author. However, once I had a completed novel it seemed a waste for it to go unread. As a new author, I am slightly nervous. But I am trying to be accessible to readers and fellow readers. I am utilizing the blog and creative writing features.
