The idea for the book came in January 2009. At the time I was searching for what my path was and knew God was pushing me to write. I had several articles and one story already published. The amazing thing was that I could even write. My degree is in chemistry with a minor in mathematics so writing wasn’t even on my radar.
The more I followed my calling the more I gained confidence in my writing. Then in January 2009, I felt the idea of the book come to me. I knew it wasn’t something I came up with because I had never thought of anything like it. There wasn’t anything out there that was even about that idea. With much doubt, I slowly dipped a toe into the idea.
I love doing research and learning about anything. The book called for extensive research so I enjoyed that part of the process. After six years of research, I decided I had enough to start writing.
My motto was “Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about.” I could not get the book out of my mind. Then in June 2015, I sat down to start writing. It was amazing! I had all this information and couldn’t get it on the page fast enough.
Any chance I had I would try to write. It was exhilarating and exhausting. At the minimum, a few minutes daily for a year and a half turned into a book. Never giving up, my book came out in May 2017.
I don’t know where this is heading but I’m enjoying the ride. Dream big and then dream bigger. My ultimate goal is to earn a Pulitzer Prize in Literature. It can and will happen!
