It's almost here and I'm waiting for it patiently. I know the
earth won't move any differently, but nevertheless... a goal I set two years
ago will happen.
My debut novel RACING HEART, will be published by Safkhet
Soul and if you want to be one of the first to read it, you can
pre-order on any Amazon site. (I'm repeating myself here,
right?)
A few years ago, when my life centred around only one thing, I
stopped, breathed and thought about it.
I finally realised that I'm much more than that one thing, and
that I'm good at other things too (by the way - I'm still not a master of that
one thing, but I'm learning along the way).
So it was then that I sat down at my computer and looked for a
long forgotten file; the one that contained every single thing I've ever
written. You know, I don't delete anything I've written. Not even if I think
it's utterly crap.
The reason for that is because I once accidently deleted the
complete file of my new novel - all together one whole night's work, around
15000 words.
Well, actually I didn't delete it - what's worse is that I
forgot to save it while I was typing it, and when the devil has its youngsters
then he has a thousand of them and when the morning came we had a power cut. Everything,
and I mean EVERYTHING, was lost. I never tried to re-write it, although parts
of the story are still in my head. Something prevents me from doing so... even
after almost two decades. Crazy, right? But that's how it is...
When I found that long forgotten file, it was a turning point. I
set myself a goal that in three years from then, I would write a novel in
English, I would sign a publishing contract and my novel - the first one in
English - would be published.
The only thing I can say is - it's not yet been three years. And
it's so nice to see it 'up there'...
