After writing many short stories, I happened to have a dream that was so interesting that I had to write about it. It turned out to be an interesting tale that took me 2+ years to complete, my very first novel. I was 14 when I began it (Year 2000), and just shy of my 16th birthday when I completed it. Now as the years went on, I continued to pick it up and put it back down. I constantly ran into obstacles trying to figure out who I was going to be after high school, but when I was finally able to settle in 2009, I picked the story back up in November of 2011 and re-wrote the original, completing it this year in June. I am so pleased and excited about the story that I have spun from the original that I hope everyone will feel the same once it is out on the bookshelves. But I am afraid that my lifelong dream may not happen by the new year unless my Kickstarter project is funded. I've reached out to my friends, family, and the community and I have an interview with the base paper. I am hoping to be able to reach out to others that may be interested in my back story as well as my Kickstarter project. I am new to this, so any advice would also be very much appreciated. Here is the URL to my Kickstarter in case you want to learn more: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/151 ... irst-novelHope to make new friends! Thanks for taking the time to learn about me and my project!
