Here I am - now known as a published author. Wow, just letting it soak in. Now I'm anxious to hear what people think about my chapter. Will they be inspired? Will they cry? (well, if it helps, I cried while writing it). It took me a long time to finish it - because in reality, my story is still unfolding in front of me. Perhaps that will be the chapter in the next book - the 3rd in the series. Excited though that hundreds or thousands of people will have the oppty to read the chapters - and be inspired and encouraged.
I can hold my head up a little higher now. I am proud of myself, if that's ok. I've been through so many different journeys over the last few years. It feels good to just sit back and be this new person - a published author. But not taking many days off, as the need to continue to write and inspire others is always on my mind. I love how my FB page - Susan W Corbran, author - is growing with lots of comments and interaction. I'm gaining new friends, for sure.
As I find myself sharing about becoming a published author, others are opening up and sharing their own stories with me. Some wish they had the time to sit down and write, while others would prefer to hire a ghost writer and then just sit back and enjoy the story in book form. However you decide - perhaps just an audio story - or a few words with some pictures. Just tell the story.
Several years ago, I was a consultant with Creative Memories - scrapbooking. And we would share how you could have a book of pictures, but without the words, it could be whatever story the reader made up to go with it. So if you want people to know your story - you need to tell it with words. Otherwise, you can't complain the stories they make up about you. :)
We continue to promote the book EMERGE: REAL STORIES OF COURAGE AND TRUTH, because we know there are many people - men and women, who need to read these stories. Please order a copy for yourself and one for a friend. They make great Christmas gifts, also.
Until next time...
To order a book - just go to my website - suecorbran.com and click on the shop tab, and then select the book Emerge. Thanks.
