Leap of faith

So, I've finally made the decision to follow the life of a dedicated author, or some would say starving artist. I'm going to submerse myself in experiences that if all goes well, inspire the characters, the places, and the connections to every part of the story. It will all be made up, but the feelings will be real. 

I've realized that it's taken me some time to truly commit. Writing is difficult for me. I could talk up a storm, but putting those words down, doesn't always come easy. After getting nails...it's even harder. All jokes aside, I've realized that I've read many books, some that have inspired me to grow and develop into a better person, and others that have taken me on a journey through my own imagination that I never thought possible. I want this book to be a little of both. The idea I've been playing with has started concerning me because of how much detail is going to have to go into this to really get the story across. I'd like to give a hand to the reader into a world that is, well, out there. 

I've recently come to terms with the fact that, if I don't take my chances now, then I never will get these chances again. Even if the story I've chosen to tell is complex, I want to tell it. I'm carrying a broken heart, but a hopeful spirit, and I hope that's enough. I can say for sure now, that the words are coming, because they woke me up today at 6:00 AM. 

So, today, some actual work is going to get done.
