I finished the third book and sent it to the publisher... I think I worked 12 hour days for a few weeks straight but it was well worth it. What a fun story! The trilogy has such a good end and I'm so proud I was able to write it. But, will it be the last thing I write? Am I done writing novels?

When I started writing I definitely didn't know I had it in me to complete one novel, much less three. I remember being on chapter 1, paragraph 1, book 1 and thinking: "What am I doing? I'm an engineer, not a writer!" I'm so glad I pushed past my self doubts and made my Cyborg Dreams happen. :D

Becoming an author has been a crazy road. When did I even become a science fiction author? There isn't a day, or award, certification, or declaration that says: "This person is a science fiction writer." You just write, hope for the best and one day your books are selling and you're like, "Man, I guess I'm a writer!"

But, now what? My very first blog post was titled, "The writing is done, now what?" I still feel exactly the same. At the time I wasn't sure if that first manuscript was all I had to offer, if anyone would pick it up to publish, or if I would ever write again. Now I don't know what will happen any more than I did then. The lonely cyborg disintegrating on the cover of the trilogy reminds me of myself right now.

I would love to keep writing but I don't know if I can justify the time spent per the return. I think that is the engineer in me talking, and maybe I'll convince her one day and to write for the pure enjoyment of it again. But ,for now, that engineer wants to see/analyze numbers that prove all the effort of writing isn't a waste.

I think I will let the readers tell me if I should keep writing. For my part, I'm going to try the best I can to get the word out about the Cyborg Dreams trilogy. If the books sell well over the next two years then I will write more. Does that sound like a good deal?

If you like my work, share it, talk about it, give a copy to your neighbor for Christmas,... whatever you can do to show support. Even write a review or like my author page, leave a comment on a blog post or share a tweet. It all counts, it all adds up. I would love to keep writing, but I need some encouragement. Thank you for all of your support!
