I am always reading something. Right now I am reading a cookbook, a travel book of our state, an essential oil book and for fun a murder mystery. A few weeks ago I picked up the first in a series by Stephanie Blackmoore. I read it in 2 days. I could have read it faster but I had dogs, chickens, a cat and hungry humans who would not stand for that. I had also picked up another book from the library to try but I just wasnt feeling it. I wanted to know what was going to happen in the next book. Then I had to get the third book and I was so excited to see there was a fourth book and then sad because its not even our until December. If you like mystery and need something light to read I think you may like this series. Its about a woman who is about to get married and finds out that her fiance is cheating. She is a lawyer and was working hard to become partner and after finding out about her fiance realizes that her dreams are not the same as they were. She inherits an old mansion, another interesting story, and decides to start a bed and breakfast with her sister, who is also quite the character.
So what am I to do until December when the next book comes out? I have tried to read 2 more books and just wasnt into it. I grabbed one over the weekend and finally at about page 80 I think I can get into this book. Its a series too and I will keep you posted.
I started thinking the other day after my blog entry about doing something you love and others that I have written about taking the next step in your life that sometimes we just arent ready for a book to end. I would consider from birth thru high school would be considered a book depending on the person a new book may start sooner or later. The time you start being more independent and really discovering who you are from exploring life for yourself and not through the eyes of someone else would be your next book. This is a tricky time as well since there is not certain age this happens. I got married at 19 I had no idea who I was at that time. I do not regret getting married so young for one second but I am happy that my children have waited longer that me. Some peoples lives will be just a few books others many. Just like all the books in the library the different kind of lives and people are what make this world the place it is.
There is actually a point to my crazy ramblings. I have realized that right now I am at the point where my old book should be ending and new book should be beginning but I just want to keep adding chapters to my old book. I am sure I have lost about half of you right now reading this and thats okay. Maybe I am a little afraid that the next book will not be as good as the last. Maybe I wont even like it. But thats the best part of being the author of your own life if you feel like your book is heading to Snoozeville you just yell "plot twist' and make it more exciting.
I know for a fact that many of you are in the same place as I am. You are holding on for dear life to your present situation terrified of the unknown of the future. I am here to tell you to write those final words "THE END" and start writing in that fresh new journal. Its gonna be fine. My first book started out "There once was a little girl named Christina". That book did not end how I had imagined when I started writing it. I found my prince charming but we did not ride away on a unicorn with a rainbow mane like 6 year old me had imagined. In fact we drove away in a 1983 Dodge Charger and our castle was a trailer park in Fort Benning Georgia and it couldnt have been more perfect.
Dont regret your book. It may have not started or ended the way that you planned and thats okay. Not everyone is going to get it or even care to read it thats okay too, Remember I dont write this blog for anyone but me. I am happy when others find it inspiring. I love it when they find it helpful but at the end of the day its my story and I am going to own it. I make lots of mistakes and we wont even count the grammar and spelling errors. I dont english so good.
So to all of you who are ready close your book and start your new one lets do this together until tomorrow my friends.....
THE END
