As writers we think we've written one kind of book, but we never know what it is until the reader joins the equation...#amwriting #authors #Indieauthors #blogging

That is what I'm discovering with The Girl on the Half Shell. I set out to write a romance that ends happy~ though not in the typical happily ever after, not in book one of the series~about people with lives we would envy and issues we would never see.  A wonderful looking life doesn't mean an easy life or a pain-free journey. I wanted my characters to have real issues and experience the healing power of love.

What the reader brings to the reading process determines the journey they go on with my book. I've discovered in 3 months that there is going to be a range of journeys I never anticipated.  I chatted for quite a while last night with a woman who finished my book and said hasn't been able to stop thinking about it. We talked for several hours and the connectivity in the digital age is an amazing thing for a writer.

For twenty-five years I've written in silence, isolation and without sharing my work. And now I can get  instant feedback from a reader who has finished a journey we've gone on together with my book.


The issues I write about are at times difficult to write. They have to be done with just the right touch to be honest and real.  As a writer you never know if you've created something that breathes with true emotion for the reader...unless it's the digital age and they can chat with you and let you know that you did OK.
