John Brown. Who saw black families being seated at the back of the church and had them come sit at the front with him and his family. Who believed the best way to end slavery and give black people a leg up was to give them access to education.

Grumpy+Sunshine is my bread and butter.

That don't require upfront money tossed into the mill. All I had to do was get over my fear of being perceived lol and that was a whole other thing but I did it. The book is out there and now that I know how to do it, I'm doing it again! And again!

Pretty soon I had A Book (tm). But like, what do I do now? I am very intimidated by the idea of traditional publishing. But in this world, we no longer have to live by trad rules. There's plenty of spaces that help and promote self publishing.

So I began editing it. And hey... it was taking shape. Wow it was becoming book shaped. And I got excited and showed it to friends and the agreed it was very book shaped now. But still raw.

Took me 8 months of shaping and reshaping it.

I finally kinda gave up on the idea of ever actually writing a novel. Just wasn't in the cards. But, I decided to try one last time. And if it didn't work, at least I tried, right? Well... I did it. And oh it was terrible. I do mean terrible lol. But, hey, I did it! That's something right?

*slides up a chair* You know, I was much the same way. Had this idea I came up with as a kid. But the idea of writing a novel seemed out of reach. I didn't know how. Organizing is hard. I wrote fanfic but that was the extent of it.

Grump+sunshine is the meat and potatoes of my novel!

Presently I am exploring the journey a grunge band from the 90s makes through an underground of paranormal psychic activity. My main characters are an MM couple, one of them aro/demi-sexual (the drummer) and the other romantic/bi (the bassist). It's been a blast to finish the first trilogy.

If I could be added pretty please?
