I am working out the stories of 3 books right now. Need to write the notes and synopsis down for all of them and then focus on just one. Then I think I will go through Amazon and self publish just to get it out there. Then I can start on the others.
Can't say I will make a lot but I feel as if I just have to write these stories. Maybe it will lead to me getting more ideas what to do to make more moolah before the time is up. I think writing down what is important to me will help me stay focused. I have never fit in the normal mold...staying in one job for years though I have stayed in Customer related jobs for 32 years.
Time for some of me to come out. I have always been uber responsible. Not that I won't continue to be but it is time to stp puttingt everything in front of what I want to do. I will keep my job for now and see where this goes. I can't be afraid forever.

Hi, Kat! Glad to hear you are writing! Very cool. Have you thought about getting a job writing? I write a lot in my job now; not fiction, but still I find writing pretty much anything is enjoyable when you like writing...
Something unexpected happened at work today. My boss is on vacation and the home office called to see if I would take part in a focus group at the last minute since they had several cancellations. while I was phoned in, we started chatting. The gal that initially called me had said how interesting my name would be on a book. I thought that was funny to hear. Anyway, I mentioned that I was working on 3 ideas right now. They all really liked the true story that happened in England. That is the one that would be the easiest to start with since it is drawn on my own experience.
It was really good to get some unexpected feedback. They all asked me to let them know when it was doen and they would buy a copy! I am floating a little.

Yesterday I get a call from my Dad. Not really surprising as the compressor for the AC on our half of the building is out and he has been checking on me daily. I have a fan.
Anyway he said he had spoke with my brother and he told Dad about D13 saying how s16 was hitting on her Sunday but I didn't do anything. How sad she was. Dad agreed with me that they were just being siblings. I did say that she tends to journal more on FB. Anyway Dad said that ex said she should call him and he will take care of it.(Whatever!)
So I wrote something in reply to her feelings. Then I read all the comments. She mentioned being a mess since the divorce, more emotional than she would like and how she still hates seeing her family torn apart. We have been divorced almost 4 years.
So I took a deep breath and replied to the divorce comment. I let her know how hard I tried to keep us together but that doesn't always work. As a family the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the one. I told her it was okay to be sad sometimes as I am sometimes too. I told her how hard I worked to get them to where they are now and that I knew we were going to be fine. I said I would always be there for her and that she could always talk to me about anything.
I had gone through a tough period with the boys when this all happened. They were teens then and had enough on their plate to deal with. D13 and D11 were younger and for the most part seemed to let it roll off their backs. Seems as if it is coming back to bite us all in the hiney again. I can get us through this.(fingers crossed).

The thing is with her, we have been talking through this stuff. With her being a teen and all that entails, it is hitting her again very hard. This is the first time that she has expressed on a public forum. Her Dad would have seen it as well as he had already posted to her.
I don't suppose he will finally get it. It will fall on me. I can do this, I am just exhausted.
