Edna Henke, Ardent Author!
Oh wow! How exciting is this? I have been referred to as “Edna Henke, ardent author“! That just might be enough of a boost to keep me going even though I’ve hit an invisible wall the last few days with writing all over it that says, “None of what you are writing even makes sense!”
It’s a good thing they have provided everyone with role models and pep talks from successful authors and stories from people who have finished this crazy challenge before because for sure there are days when it doesn’t all click and fall together and your inner lecturer tells you it is all a waste of time and the world will laugh at you, not with you.
Most of the time this has been fun. I mean if it didn’t provide a great deal of semi-instant gratification there wouldn’t have been over 100,000 participants last November, with over 15,000 of us “crossing the finishing line together.”
I have this thing with myself, that I don’t want to write anything unless I feel it teaches of good values, creates a little clean laughter, or is shows examples of making good choices. Always in the back of my mind is the thought that sweet children I know and love (my grandchildren) will some day read the words I put my name to. It is how I leave them a little piece of myself … and I want to make sure I leave the right piece.
It feels good to write and when this book is finished my next goal is to get both books sent off to publishers. Maybe someone besides me will fall in love with my senior citizen rogue angels, Nellie and Horace.
