The Reason Why I Sing

I have been completing a few novels for about a year. I need to really put my head in this and get it done. I just have to discipline myself. I find myself wanting to write most when I need to relieve some stress. That's when the imagination seems to be working best. It's just lately I haven't needed to so much ( Thank God). I think my previous job was the reason for me completing as much as I have. It was either write or serve some serious jail time. So my time there was good for something.It's just I have so many ways I want to go so I decided to let two of my coworkers read 4 chapters from each story that I'm working on. I just asked that they give constructive criticism, I can take it. Before I went to bed one of them called and wanted to know if I had anymore chapters, because she would come and get them. I told her I did, but she would have to wait for the printed version. Her exact words were." This shit is wrong, how can you suck me in like this and leave me hanging". The next day the other asked if I needed an agent so we could both quit working there because this was a bestseller. I had them switch and they loved both stories! I mean to the point they were threatening bodily harm if I don't finish. Everyday that I come to work I am getting emails asking did I write anything the day before. Although I have been lying to them, I have decided to get a move on. When I decided to create these characters, I wanted them to be believable. I wanted people to be able to connect to them instantly. I wanted them to be able to say " Hey I know this person or is she writing about ME!" Which some of my girls will think immediately. ( ALL NAMES, DATES AND PlACES) have been changed to protect the guilty. So, I won't have to worry about a " Best Man moment. To have people love what you LOVE to do is a wonderful feeling. Got my wind back y'all. I'm saaaanging!
