Thanks @thisreaderluvs2write for the tip! I’m checking out #pitchwars and there’s a wonderful ‘how-to’ section about writing a query. I should have stayed at #starbucks for the free refills. I’m going to need a lot of coffee for the query process. I don’t know what was harder: writing the manuscript, or querying, but I’m about to have a meltdown. Celebrating 1 accomplishment, only to realize you still have a bunch more hoops to jump through. I’ve watched so many YouTube videos on querying, I read “the weekend book proposal” as well as “how to write irresistible query letters.” I don’t know if it’s #whole30, starting at a new school, or this writing process but I can feel a meltdown in the horizon. #tryingnottocry #holdittogether #overwhelmed #yaauthorsofinstagram #writersjourney #writersjourney #writersofinstagram #authorsjourney #authorssupportingauthors

STEPS
.
Every step I take in going over edits, rewriting, deleting and editing my own edits has been a learning experience as well as getting me closer to the top of my stairs, the completion of my novel! And where my editor and I are currently at, is so close to being at that ending point, which is the beginning of my storytelling career! I almost don’t believe it after walking up these stairs for two years! Lol
.
The end of this part of my journey I will enjoy to the fullest, while updating all of you on its ending path. .
Thank you for joining me on this crazy journey. Just by following is such a great support to me and means so much, thank you!
#authorschallenge2019 asks, “At what age did you start writing?”
I posted a little about this last month (look for the picture of 2-year-old Hannah wearing a tiara if you want to read it), but here are a few more fun pictures from my childhood. The first shows me in some spectacular clothes making a birthday cake for some ants. The second is my beautiful handwriting. And the third is me with some of my stuffed animals, probably hosting a church service or teaching school or something like that. Imagination has always been a part of my life, and I think that’s why I started writing.
I decided to become a “real author” when I was 9 years old. I no longer wanted to write just for friends and family. I wanted to be published. And I was certain that “Mystery of the Fudge Factory,” a thrilling 9,000-word “mystery novel,” would top the bestseller lists by 2010. It even had a sequel, “The Concert Caper.” What could go wrong?
Then I learned more, and decided maybe I better write something different.
Today, I’m at least 10 novels and a handful of novellas past those first stories. But they, too, are a part of the journey, cringe-worthy as they are.
Maybe I’ll cringe when I think of Prince of the Barbarians some day. Who knows? For now, I’m going to keep doing what I’ve always done: believing I have a story worth telling, and writing it.

As I sit and reflect (yes, I tend to do this a lot), I am reminded of my own process and journey in writing this book in such a time & season as this.
As I prepare for my book launch tomorrow, I continue to become humble and remember that I did not call myself to this, but God called me to be a mouth piece in an area that has been one of the most challenging for me as well as encouraging.
I realise that this journey thus far has been very interesting, especially when you know that this book has been birthed through, joy, sadness, loss, pain, hope, healing and so much more. It has taken only but the strength of God to complete this book & I know 100% if you too want to write or feel led to write, endurance is the key as-well as having the determination to see it finish will be your drive as God gives you the grace to see you through.
I have grown in so many ways, healed & become even more free than I thought I could be. Ha! (But God). So for those of you that have purchased my book thus far. I THANK you!
If I don’t have your picture posted here, don’t worry, I still value & appreciate you. Just send it to me when you can.
To those that has genuinely supported me too, THANK you!
I can only hope that my book launch will truly bless your hearts, bring peace to your souls and encourage you to know, that no matter what you face. You are not ever alone & you are truly LOVED.
Tomorrow is going to be great, so do not miss out.
See you tomorrow!
Ps: If you still want to come to the BL and missed getting a ticket, you can do so on the door.
