THE EXCITING JOURNEY OF Writing
​a Fictional Book

"IT'S A LUXURY BEING A WRITER,
​ BECAUSE ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS LIFE."

​AMY TAN






MY BEST FRIEND IS

10/8/2017
Friendship
I think Muhammad Ali, the great boxer, said it best: "Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything."
Picture

For all of us, friendship is a precious commodity.
To me real friendship comes with no demands, no judgments, lots of laughter, honesty, and love.


My next book, "My Best Friend Is," coming November 1st of this year, is a book with two stories about children and friendship.

"Jamison and Joey"- The setting is on a farm nestled in mountains. The sky is bluer than blue, the trees are tall, and the mountains surround a place called Lightning Lake.

The two boys set out on an adventure that ends up more than they bargained for. Faced with a deadly storm, ghosts from two centuries ago, and a grizzly bear the boys only have each other to depend on.


Three Strikes- Eddy spends months practicing pitching, but why? In an act of selfless determination he teaches a community the meaning of friendship.  

I'll talk more about these stories and the process as the month goes on.

Nobel Prize winner in 1957 for Literature, Author Albert Camus eloquent statement is a proper close.


"Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

    What makes a writer? What do you envision when you think about that question?

    Someone sitting by an open window looking out over the ocean, desert, mountains? Rainy day, foggy, sunny? 

    My definition of a writer of fiction. A person who drives himself or herself to the edge of insanity when writing a story to the best of their ability that you the reader find entertaining.

    I can honestly say my life has been interesting, far from boring.  Land baron, restaurateur, photographer, artisan, author. A life full of ups and downs. A life full of stories.

    Along the way I've met hundreds of people, some interesting, some not. Some dangerous, some beautiful, some kind, and some cruel. During my lifetime I've even had my heart run over a couple of times, but when all of it is said and done I wouldn't trade it in. 


    Writing has always been inside of me, but the siren never called to me. I wasn't ready until one day in October of 2015 when life said, "Start writing."

    Writing is a long journey, full of many perils, but don't be afraid it is an exciting adventure!
