Waiting in the Night is a novel with origins from almost three decades ago. While the plot has grown since it's inception, the overall concept is still intact from those humble beginnings. I woke up with the idea in the middle of the night. With my brow damp with sweat, I got out of bed, grabbed a pen and notepad, plucked the murky thoughts from my dream and jotted them down.

Personally, writing is what I love to do. I believe this is what I was born to do so, being able to follow my passion in life is so fulfilling. I think to myself, I get to create imaginative plots and characters and scrub away any filler that tries to latch it's cold, bony grip to my story in the process. HiYah! (powerful karate chop!)

I'm currently writing my new novel, Waiting in the Night. I won't go into the specifics of the plot, but I'll have monthly updates on my blog www.motivationbymoonlight.com.

Continue to perfect your trade. Be unique to your own writing style while also being open to modify along the way. The story, plot, characters, and setting are all yours to decide, but understanding how to better your craft is a part of your journey every time you sit down to write. Remember, to enjoy the process, after all, if you're a writer, you were born for this!

For me, writing is an internal drive. I wrote my first novel when I was 15, but never did anything with it afterward. However, from that point on in my life, I knew my purpose. My about page goes into a lot more detail (www.motivationbymoonlight.com/about/), but this has been a life-long journey for me. Now, that I’m actually writing again after so many years, I will never go back to a place of inactivity. We can accomplish so much in our lives if we apply ourselves. It took me finally getting fed up with not pursuing my dream and avoiding activities that were non-productive in my life to begin this journey. When I finally put my foot down and said “enough”, then I began to make progress.
