I Published My First Book
What do you do when you’re a writer and life seems like it has just gone completely down the drain in the past year? Well for most of us melodramatic writers you just typically write about it. I know, big duhhh. But for me, I decided to take it a step further. I have been saying for the longest time that I was gonna write and publish my first book soon, but with everything I’ve had going on I just never got around to it. So earlier in the year after a publishing company reached out to me I decided I was gonna take this as a sign to publish my first book.

Autumn. The leaves change colors. People return to school. Vacations slow down. And every year from 1999 to 2024, writers locked themselves in their rooms and chained themselves to their computers to write the next great novel of at least fifty thousand words.
