Hello, Everybody!
I have been misguided you could say, or distracted from the passion and lifestyle of writing. I wonder if many of you have felt this way as well. I am back at it again and currently working on books 4, 5, and unknown 6.
I am also excited to say that I am a Vice Publisher/Writer with the Double Decker Books E-Magazine online now!
More will be added! And This time I will not fail you.

Frustration and Success
I've been gone for quite sometime, from the writing world that is.
It was not that my heart had no words to speak, but that my soul hushed the urges to express their poetic tones.
That is the thing with success, it is on many different degrees, and varies from one person to the next. Frustration grows, and you question your creative talent, now a year or so after, I have come back, not wanting to let my words go, not wanting those dreams to die. Because, inside there is more to speak, more to write, more to read, more to be. Yes, I find my days even hesitating the very notes I transcribe. If no one reads my words, will the success still remain the same, if no one remembers my name?
When I initially started to write young adult books, my goal was to just help one person, and it would be worth it. The goal expanded to walking into a book store and seeing my titled manuscript on their shelf. I have had this dream for sometime, and as a self-published author it is the very best you could ever dream. Having a literary agent also is another one that proves more power than I would like to give it. Your work is based on the belief of others in you, and how the market might accept your tones. Not necessarily in that order.
We live in a world of making a dollar, even if the dollar is crap and can't control it's liquor.
When the penniless poet reaches for an audience, there are no ears to be heard. The deaf community only applauding in the stance of appearance.
So here I stand 3 self-published titles under a name I have been blessed with and married into. Do i continue to write a 4th and a 5th, all the way up to the 9th? Am I supposed to deliver my words to all ears everywhere, and to all eyes of the readers I am supposed to reach?
My question remains the same, as I struggle with the frustration of what success really means to me.
It is sadness that makes us grow, makes us conform, makes us settle then less than we deserve. We are writers yes, professors of love and knowledge, sure, but the consequence of being, has led us into thinking we are great and people should believe in our souls as much as we believe in our typed paragraphs.
Not that we are not wonderful and intelligent, but we have to choose to become more, to suffer greater for the success of our names and the titles we hope to gain.
It is all in the name of art and becoming an artist.
The choice is always yours, believe in the dream or not, and the fate of the outcome will be its truth.
