My first novel was rejected by over 80 different publishing houses in three countries. A few years later I re-read that novel and concluded the publishers were right. Good grief it was awful. I decided maybe I needed to leave it until my retirement years when I didn't have to earn a living, and when I had actually learned HOW to write.
On Thanksgiving 2013, I got tired of waiting around to grow old and figured that creative writing course back in college would have to be sufficient. I penned my second novel, A Season For Joy, in less than 26 days and mostly during my kids' nap time. It felt amazing. I want to do this forever.
As for me personally: I was born in 1971 in California but I currently live in the Netherlands (Holland). Food is my weakness followed closely by architecture. I hate the beach, especially the sand. I don't like nutella. I love good manners. My favorite season is autumn. I think sarcasm is awesome. I have an unhealthy attachment to certain video games. I love historical re-enactments and anything else giving me an excuse to dress up in period clothing. My goal is to be the ultimate housewife: happy kids, happy husband, cook amazing meals, and be able to vacuum without spilling my martini. Sadly, I only seem to have the martini part down. I consider it a work in progress.ver menos
