One More Goal Accomplished!
Oh wow, these last days have been so busy, but it was worth it, even if I had to pauze my training at WA. I just published my book, and this one is special, because it is a collection of short stories which I started writing in the year 2000 or 1999. That is such a long time ago, and I have kept those stories throughout the years (and I had forgotten about them). They were typed on a typewriter and I kept the pages in folders.
Then, I didn't write any more short stories for years, but worked on novels instead - and published them too :-)
No no, I am not promoting my books here, I am getting to the point, I promise ;-)
During the last storm (I live in a hurricane prone area) those stories were left outside in a box (again, I forgot about them, sigh), and although they were under a roof, water still got to them from the sides. I lost much written work and old photos, but miraculously, most of my stories were saved, and my short stories were on top of the pile. I took that as a sign, and I decided to edit and publish those old stories. I also added new stories which I wrote in 2018.
Over the last days I had to make the decision to pauze my WA training. As much as I enjoy my lessons and as eager as I am to learn more and develop my website, I can only do so much. A deadline is a deadline, and I had to meet it. Editing, more editing, re-editing, formatting, re-formatting, creating the book cover, it is a lot of work, but I finally did it. I just uploaded my book on Amazon, and now I am going home and relax, and celebrate the achievement of this goal.
Tomorrow I will be back on WA and continue my lessons, and I am so glad to get back to it :-)

Hi Christine, well done on publishing...it would have been easy to 'put it off' for another time but you didn't. Kudos for that.
That's awesome! You have encouraged me to think more on the book I have wanted to do based on a good portion of my career. I have written an outline and many notes related to this. It's one of my goals before the year is up along with the SAC complete it. This is a basis for a workshop to promote, and will be the outline and compliment to it.
Look forward to seeing more. PM me with the title of your book I would love to see it. Yes I know you were not promoting, but I asked which is ok.

You should finish your book. It feels so great when you finally see it out there ๐ I hope you'll achieve your goal before the year is up.
