My journey ....part two

2001....I finally committed to something....a decision to write romantic suspense where I could combine a happy ending with a bloodthirsty crime....and to my credit I did write one full story, Isabel and Craig's story, and played around with six other couples which are still in bits and pieces and the childrens story I have sitting in the wings.....
I don't think I sat down for a full day or full week once in that year to write...in fact going through writing journals I would be lucky if out of the twelve months on offer that I wrote properly for more than three.....
I even got up the courage to send off queries on I&C's story to publishers only to be soundly rejected...but I didn't give up then....I began Maggie and Fox's story....and then September 11 happened....
Even though it didn't happen over here it hit hard and I wondered why on earth I was worrying about trivial things like some fantasy characters life when there were real problems in the world....... instead of thinking that maybe my characters fantasy lives would be a break in reality from the crap going on in the world.....just realising that now....duh how slow can you get :)
