THE JOURNEY

I am truly on the brink of something magnificent.

About a month back, my core zip drive was accidentally destroyed. It had EVERYTHING on it and when I discovered it was gone, I bawled my eyes out. I lost strategies, a query letter, and my second full manuscript all within 30 seconds and was completely devastated. I debated on whether to continue or not, I mean, my work had yet to build any real kind of following and I'm hardly receiving any support or interest in it outside of my husband and sister.

But then I thought, why would this happen now that I'm focused on success? And it hit me. The enemy knows that I'm almost to the place where my work will mean something huge for readers and wants to stop me at all cost. I'll never be able to duplicate what I lost, but my husband told me to take advantage of the freedom to write something better, which has been a very good experience.

My husband and I are registered for the Writer's Digest conference in NYC August 1-3 where I have the opportunity to sit down with 50 agents to pitch my work. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm doing everything in my power to ensure that someone takes interest in me and that my work will speak for itself.

This is my time to shine! I can feel my future coming and I just have to be ready!
