Years ago when NaNoWriMo first established itself I thought I would like to join and write a book. My major fear that held me back was my ability to never finish things on time. Now that I am older, but not much wiser, I decided, "To hell with it! If I don't try, then I will never know!"
So far, I am not disappointed. I have fully committed myself to writing and as a result I am slowly learning how to master my craft. With my story, "Rare Orchid", I have learned new ways to phrase words. Grant you, my sentences are still far from perfect but at this point I am just glad to be writing. I never would have thought that I would be given this wonderful opportunity to write a full-fledged book within a month. I always thought of myself as too busy. Sometimes after coming home from a long shift at work, I would be too tired to do anything. I usually saved all my writing for the bus ride to and from work.
This year, I decided to take my journal of ideas and turn one of the stories into an actual novel. And so, "Rare Orchid" was born. I can only hope that with this story a new path will open for me. So, for those of you who wish to read the ideas unfolding day by day follow this link, https://leanpub.com/rareorchid, and do not be afraid to send me a few words of encouragement or some critical comments. In my opinion, all feedback is good feedback if it will help me improve.
