My newest book
I just wanted to take a moment to lavish in my own pride for a moment. I've never been one to keep my goals in mind so readily but this summer, I had made it my summer's mission to finally finish a novel I had been working on for two years! So as any young woman enjoying their summer holidays, I left it, and continued to procrastinate and left it on the shelf.
Well that backfired as it was two days until my first day of school and I was still nowhere near finishing. I hadn't even reached the climactic height! I hadn't even introduced the new character who would play a key role in solving the mystery! Yes, it's true, I had a lot of work to do.
So I buckled down and did it. I seriously sat at my computer with no human contact for two days, doing nothing but enter the world I had created, trying to resolve my poor character's problems. (in other words, I was trying to finish the stupid thing). I can recall going to youth group one night and my friend Kari saying "You look like you just ran a marathon!" Meanwhile, I had just been writing my book for 3 hours straight. That's how it felt though.
There was much rejoicing the day before school started when I finally wrote the finishing touch on the last page of my new novel: The End! However, it is just the beginning for me. The editing phase is always the most fun (sarcasm insinuated here) and I think it will take me until the end of the school year to fully complete. But, the novel is called Trapped Minds and here is the cover of it.
Though I think it will be subject to change. I don't like my picture on the cover of the book, it implies I am the main character. (The main character is based on me). The story is set in a laboratory where young girls are kept against their will by a man who has twisted ideas and psychologically disturbing problems. The story revolves around the life of a girl named Tara Pickett. For more information about my new novel (which I'm so excited about), go to my website and read about Trapped Minds .
