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 DIARY My LOVE

7/20/2018
Roger spent his whole life making a living. He forgot one thing though. How to live.

Picture
Standing in front of his employees on his last day Roger says his goodbye.
“If I have to describe who I am, I can easily say I am a person who followed the rules. I worked hard and gave it my all. I built my company and made a good living. There was no time to waste. You all know me. I was always the first one in the office and the last one to leave. Well, I’ve sold the company and have been rewarded for all my years of commitment. Most of you have been here with me from the beginning. Thank you.”


Roger left that day looking forward to a quiet retirement. Never married, except to his business, Roger’s life has been safe and boring. He is the poster child for orderliness and calm.

It’s funny how life works. Roger thinks he has lived, but he’s mistaken. Life has something planned for Roger and her name is Stephanie. From cautious spectator to reluctant participant Roger is dragged into an adventure and there is no turning back.
Who is Stephanie? A government agent? A femme fatale, an assassin, or an escaped felon? Whoever Stephanie is, Roger’s life and heart will never be the same.


Hesitant, Roger has learned how to weather every storm. To him this will be no different. But Stephanie is a hurricane who teaches Roger how to dance in the rain.

    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!
