| It took me a year to write and finish Saving Sunflower. It didn’t seem like such a long time while I was writing but one day in late September while in a frustrated rage I turned to my fiancĂ© and said, “I’ve been working on this book for a year and it’s still not finished!” Just like Claudette and Dominic, I had gone through several ups and downs while writing their story. I probably have about five different drafts of Saving Sunflower. It had been years since I’d written anything before I told their story, and I had to find my voice again. Somehow, finding my voice as an author coincided with coming into my own as an adult. While writing, I found clarity in my personal life. I realized that for many years I’d been searching for something within myself, but I didn’t know exactly what it was. So when I first started writing again, I decided I would embark on a journey of spirituality and self-discovery. I wanted to understand myself and others on a deeper level. I wanted to be more intuitive. I wrote what I wanted to happen and put it in my nightstand—for a year that list stayed in my drawer. After hitting publish on my story and waiting days on pins and needles for someone to read it and growing discouraged when nothing happened, that list of goals suddenly popped into my head late one night. I flung open the drawer to my nightstand and dug it out. It was a strange moment now that I think about it. I read and reread the list until the magnitude of what happened finally sank into my head. I’d accomplished everything I’d written—all of it. There in my hands was a year’s worth of hard work and it was well worth the time, tears, and screaming. So I say all of that to say, if you’ve read Saving Sunflower—thank you. If you left a review—thank you. If you read a few pages of it—thank you. If you downloaded it—thank you. If you’ve told someone about it—thank you. |
