This is exactly why it took so long for me to get started with the book. Mine own fear that I wouldn't be good enough. But as I grew as a person and realized mine own strengths I came to the realization that the only person I had to justify things to was mineself. Which is the part of the reason that I am self publishing. I refuse to allow anyone to censor my work. And in a societee where people get butt hurt by the way that I greet them, that would definitely happen. People continuously ask me where the story is going, Honestly, I'll be just as surprised as you are. I had the initial dream some 15ish years ago now, which vastly evolved into the prolog. That's spurred the start point of the 1st novel. I had a final destination in mind. A couple of vague ideas for the middle and that was about it. Everything else just happened. The story wrote itself. I think it should be said, that I never considered myself a writer. I have failed English virtually every year I have taken it. I had severe ADD growing up and still suffer from adult ADD{I know, it doesn't exist}, It went untreated so I learned to cope, and I never did my homework. I absolutely hated writing in school. Mine penmanship is atrocious and mine typing skills are almost nonexistent. If technology hadn't progressed to the point that it is now, The book would likely still not exist. I don't feel that I am stupid, and, depending on who you talk to, I think I'm a know-it-all. I don't think that my work is crap, but I never thought it would be taken the way that it has been. Though, I wish I could get people to write The reviews that they give me in person. But alas, I cannot force people to do that which they promised me they would. #selfpublish #steampunk #dragon #dragonsdescent #slutshaming #bodyshaming #indi #indipendent #knowyourworth #livefearless #noregrets #writterproblems #beyourself (at Kittery, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqJp_Zhi8E/?igshid=1mqtn1fv33dnf
