I think it’s important to be honest in your blog posts, so–even though it isn’t popular to do so–I am going to admit that I thought about giving up on this whole publication dream of mine.
*dramatic pause*
I stared at my book. Gave it a real hard look–realized that I loved it. I really genuinely love my story, and every time someone says no to it, well, it hurts.
So, I thought about just hanging it up. For no one to read. I was just going to leave Sketch the way it was, and be perfectly happy that in my life I wrote a book.
Then I realized something.
I can’t do that to Sketch. She’s just that awesome. She has to be read! But, more importantly–I can’t do that to myself. I’ve come this far. Why would I just quit? That would be crazy. So, Sketch needs a little editing and revising–so what? I LOVE editing and revising. It makes me smile to sit in a schmancy coffee shop and type on my pearly pink laptop.
So, I got to work.
I reworked some things in the first chapter, I added more emotions- I made Sketch more relatable.
I made it better.
There’s no way I’m quitting now…
