I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to all of you that shared with me your ideas on what to write. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming your way…
.
At the age of 4, I began begging for a horse. My mother says it’s because they made a grave mistake when I was a toddler, and bought me “Rusty” – a spring-loaded rocking horse. I lived on that horse. And as a toddler/preschooler, I had terrible ear infections. Mother reminisces that more than once they awoke to me rocking on Rusty, when I’d get sick. He always made my ears feel better.  I was sold. I needed the real thing. And I was relentless. 
…
I’ll never forget the day my mom called me at school, no less, to tell me that they’d made it happen. That a horse was in my very near future. Elated does not begin to describe how I felt that day, standing in the school lobby, on the phone. I’m fairly certain there were tears.
…
Butch was a super kind, 5 year old gelding. He wasn’t exceptionally educated but he was really gentle, and he had personality to spare. I think my dad liked him because when we were in the corral with the horses she was selling, he came over and nibbled at his boot. I of course was in love with all of them. But he was the one everyone said was best for me. So $500 later, home we came with my new best friend…

When it comes to writing your own story, if you don’t like how one part of your book reads, change it.
.
While it may not be easy to make changes and is certainly scary, you have to ask yourself, “does the change outweigh X ( the routine/safety/what I know), that might be unhealthy for me?”
.
I know we’re all in different circumstances, but there’s always someone out there willing to lend a hand.
.
I can’t help but think of the series, @maidnetfilx. I was her. Only I had a supportive family and thankfully, a sane mother. Not everyone is as fortunate as me. But if you want to write your book the way you want it to read, you’ll do whatever it takes. You can. I believe in you.
.
Do you believe in you?
