Oh What A Feeling!

As a writer I go through a lot of feelings – and I mean a LOT! Almost on a daily, if not hourly, basis.

When I start a book, when I finish a book, and every paragraph and scene in between is important. Biggest question I ask myself: Did I convey to the reader what I want to show or feel? That’s a doozie. It’s not just telling a story, it’s showing the reader your soul. It’s putting it out there for every reader to see how you think – how your mind works. That can be a scary feeling.

For me, ninety-nine percent of my feelings are good ones. When I finish a difficult scene, I can read back over it, tweak it a bit, and then finally say, yes, that’s what I meant.

When I release a new book, the feeling is generally euphoria. It’s my hard work, my words, my thoughts, my characters, my story all packaged up neatly waiting for someone to pick it up and enjoy. It doesn’t get much better than that and it’s what keeps us word junkies going.

So, enjoy reading that book because fiction writers love writing their stories for you. Every. Single. Day.
