Hi everyone 👋
Welcome back! So I gave you all an introduction of myself and a little bit of information regarding my books already. You can check out the above tabs for more information on my books and myself.
As I've already stated, I published my first novel in 2010 when I was 16, my second novel in 2011 when I was 17 years old...
...that makes a 13-year gap!!
Wow! 13 years, that seems crazy!
Anyway, y'all may be wondering what happened in that time frame. And if you are, well, guess what? So am I! How in the world has 13 years gone by so quickly!! 😂
Okay, time to be serious. While I am quite surprised that 13 years has passed, I do (sort of) know where the time went. Now, did I stop writing my books? No. Have I lost my passion for writing? No. Have I published more books in that time frame? Sadly, no.
Adulting happened in that time frame.
When I attended middle school and high school at the time of writing and publishing my 2 novels, I went to online school. Going to online school offered me PLENTY of time to write and work on my books (just don't tell my parents that's what I was spending all my time on 😜!) . So I was able to do a lot of writing back then.
After graduation and stepping into this frightening world called adulthood (which I am not a fan of at times, it's way overrated!) I got too busy to be able to spend as much time on my writing as I would have liked. I got my first job and still wrote a lot during that job. Then I met my 1st husband and spent time with him in every spare second away from working. Then got engaged, planned the wedding, got married, moved in, set up our house, and got accustomed to being a wife. Then I changed jobs and started my business, in which took a lot of time and dedication.
I still wrote during all of this; I was just not able to spend nearly as much consistent time on writing my books as I would have liked. Then I got divorced, moved again, had to get reacquainted with being single. Met my current husband, found my life's "spark" and joy again. We moved in together, got married, and busy with our lives.
Lots of changes in the past 13 years.
Now I am a 30-year-old woman on my 2nd marriage with my own business, 3-step kids, 2 adorable granddaughters, and my dogs.
But throughout all those life's changes, I never lost sight of my writing, it's always been a deep passion of mine. And it's stronger than ever before, especially with my husband's support and confidence in my writing and his prodding me to pursue it more diligently than I have before.
My passion for writing is burning brighter and stronger than ever! I'm digging into my writing deeper, making it a priority in my life now. I have so many books that I am working on now that I worry my computer may not hold all the files 😂 I'm making up for time lost. I'm pursuing different fictional genres, different creativity with writing and different writing styles and techniques. I'm very excited to see where this journey takes me! I can not wait to get my works finished up and I do hope to get many, if not all, of them published.
So while I've had a 13-year break in my writing career, nothing has changed in my writing passions. I just had to wait and be patient to find the right time and opportunities to write...and the right person who encourages me to chase after that dream of mine with everything I've got...
Every dream is worth fighting for!
Thanks for reading,
~M. Desiree`
