You can always improve on what you’ve written.
If nothing is there, well then, …
I think it was this idea that kept me working on my first novel.
Now here I am ready to publish soon and working on the next one.
Just write it down. You’ll feel better once you do.
Hello. I am the author of the Historical Fiction novel called Mamie Garrison. It is a tale of slavery, abolition, romance and history, set in the years just prior to the Civil War. It is available on Kindle for .99 and also in paperback. Mamie Garrison has a dual storyline. The present day story involves Bella and Andrew finding Mamie's journals. Their story includes romance and paranormal aspects. Mamie's story follows her adventures as an abolitionist through her journals. There are some mysteries as well as an unusual background in Mamie's life. I have completed book two in my series. Colin Garrison, Book 2 of The Garrisons is available at Amazon.com/dp/B0759MYN81. Please see my Colin Garrison page under the menu option for a small sample of this new book. The third and final book in the series, Emily Garrison is now available. Please see above for link. I am 62 with one adult child and one grandchild. I have always enjoyed the written word and have been a voracious reader from my early youth. I am inspired by many authors in the historical fiction genre. I am also a lover of Russian literature, particularly Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. I find great inspiration for creating characters by looking at the ones these two authors have created. There is such a depth to them. I have written for most of my life in one form or another. I have dabbled in poetry and songwriting, and have more started novels than finished ones. In my free time, I like reading, history and travel. I am interested in genealogy and working on my family tree. I live in St Louis.
The worst thing I write never sees the light of day.. so how is it better in any case? π
I am one of those compulsive edit-monsters.. the only way I could ever write is if I never stopped.. or else, the moment I stop I start reading and hating it.. then I just have to trash it..
Always been like that.. so only good enough for short stories and articles.. maybe some day I will learn to not hate what I write.. π
Thanks for the advice.. **gloom.. advice never works for me.. I go ahead and do the exact opposite.. π¦
