Finally!
“What I learned from being in the Beatles, was that you must finish.
You’ve got the product out!”
Ringo Starr.
“John and I wrote three hundred songs together, and you would think there would be ten that were left unfinished. We always finished!”
Paul McCartney.
Inspired by these, and other quotes I have spent the last two weeks completing my first novel. As with most everything I have learned in this life, I have made more mistakes than I can count in the over two-year process. With each mistake I have learned what not to do on my second book.
I am determined to see this book published and there is still a long way to go before reaching that point. It is a journey my readers may follow along with. My stubborn determination will come in handy.
The book is a story about an ordinary young man who has suffered great loss in life. He finds himself in a bad spot he is forced to fight his way out of. This sets in motion a series of situations altering the direction of his life. The story leads to more stories down the line.
The story is currently being read and critiqued by my most trusted critics and will receive some minor adjustments before being peddled to publishers.
In the meantime, I begin to fine tune my second novel and will finish and record a dozen songs floating around, some complete, while others linger in obscurity.
More to come.
