Late again!

April 5 question – Do you remember writing your first book? What were your thoughts about a career path on writing? Where are you now and how is it working out for you? If you’re at the start of the journey, what are your goals?

Insecure Writer’s Support Group Question of the Month…

My first book was written as a challenge thrown down by my mother. I had been reading her romance novels after I ran out of my sci-fi books, 3 a day during summer vacation. I said something to the effect that I could write one of these. “Well, why not?” Why not indeed.

Still not going to get rich doing it, but it was a satisfying itch to scratch.

And of course, science fiction had been percolating in the back of my brain since a writing class in high school, so another, “Why not?”

In not very disciplined about it. I love hearing how others are and such, but I guess I need the kick in the butt. Mine is more of a scratching an itch that is driving me crazy than in it for the money. (Nothing against making money…it means someone really liked what you wrote…not jealous…much. )
