After some serious brainstorming on the new idea I had for a new book, I’ve been able to put that on the back burner and focus on the sequel to the book I’ve written.  I’m very excited to have my characters back at the forefront of my head and am excited to be carrying around my notebook and pen everywhere I go.  I’ve plotted out the 2nd book and the main theme/ending to the third book in this intended trilogy and am bursting at the seams to talk about it with somebody, but of course…CAN’T!!  That is the most torturous part of writing…not being able to tell a soul about the excitement swirling around in my head!

I talked to a good friend of mine last night, who has self-published a book, and I feel completely grounded and at ease with the arduous journey ahead of me.  I will take it one day at a time and not let all of the stress of “publishing” cloud my writing…since that’s what I truly want to do.
