It started like this. A simple invitation to a former colleague to join Goodreads. This friend inquired as to whether I had a book on the site. No, I regretfully stated, not yet (I had stalled and was starting to gather dust), but I had hoped to maybe pick her hubby's brain a bit about his publishing experience (agent, self-published, etc.) She graciously offered to foster this connection should I like to ask questions about his experience. Then, the unexpected inspiration occurred. She said she couldn't wait to read my book (with an exclamation point). She had no way of knowing that I greatly needed this motivation.
I am honored old friend, that you would want to read something that I am writing. When it is finished, you may love it or you may hate it, but the fact that you are willing to invest several hours of your time to read it, is an honor. You have unknowingly given me a little nudge, because I now want to dust myself off and finish this book so that you and my supporters can read my book. Thank you!
P.S. My flash fiction is still going strong and I am now a regular monthly contributor on
Story Shack Magazine. Check out the site for some wonderful stories and illustrations.
