I'm glad that I have my husband (here with me) and my best friend / momma in Florida (unfortunately not near me). If I didn't have these two people, I think I might never have sat down and written my first book. I consider myself a strong person, but I'm stronger with good people around me to encourage me and pick me up when I'm having a down day.
It's weird how all I have to do is call my friend in Florida, have a ten minute conversation with her, and suddenly I feel so much better I slam a cup of coffee and go write 30 pages, lol. And when I'm feeling insecure, I have my husband read what I wrote, he tells me honestly what he thinks, but always puts it in a way that both communicates what I could improve while making me feel really good about my progress. lol. That's a gift, imo.
Between the two of them, I manage very well. I don't know what I would do without them. :-)

Hi Alicia....stumbled on your blog. I am about to attempt to write my first novel (also hell-bent that one day writing will be what I do to pay the bills). I'd love to be able to compare experiences from time to time. I'll check back in with you!

Please do! I've learned a lot over writing three books. It's a lot of work, but well worth it. Let me know if you have any questions...
