Hello again…so, what happened to the momentum you maybe asking. Well, let me just share that once you start sharing things with others to provide you feedback, things can change. Sometimes, there are small changes and sometimes there are larger changes. For the last few months, the changes have been on the larger side.

Turns out that when you start writing a book with a certain plot and audience in mind and realize that your target audience may not be what you think it is, major changes ...

Well, that is easier said then ...

Chapter one down and so many more to go...Some of those reading this might say, “What took you so long?”

Well, I’ll tell you what took so long…I don’t know really. It is tough to say. The chapter was outlined and mostly written weeks ago.
