First Draft and It Is Magic

Posted by kosturcompose76 on January 3, 2012
Posted in: My Progress.

Last night (December 31, 2011) I finished, the first draft of my very first novel.  I’ve written my entire life, and I have always had a few novel ideas running around in my head, but they never jumped out onto the page before.  How did I get here you may ask?  It was a combination of being pushed the right way at the right time and an amazing group people all lending me their support in words and actions.

While I was writing the first draft I found a huge amount of inspiration and tools that were important for my success.  I wanted to organize those tools and ideas, and so was born the idea for this blog.  As the days go on I will be adding sections about inspiration; writing resources and exercises; tips; and, the progress of my writing projects.

For this my official first blog post I wanted to thank the people that have been so supportive in helping me achieve my goals.  I won’t get them all (sorry to anyone I miss right away, there are so many loving supportive people in my life I really have an embarrassment of riches) but these few stand out tonight.

Guy Windsor – Thanks for pushing me the right way at the right time.  I haven’t even told you yet how important your words of advice were to me but I will soon.

Jennifer Landels – So many thanks for welcoming me into your writing group, introducing me to such a great group of people, sharing my excitement and bringing horses back into my life.

Andre Kostur – My loving husband.  Thank you for believing in me even when I don’t and loving me without condition.

Joan Paton – Grandmother extraordinaire and the inspiration behind my first novel.  I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you.  Thanks can never be enough.

My Friends and Family – Each and every one of you have inspired me and supported me in every crazy thing I have tried.  I hope that I can offer that to each of you in turn.
