I love to write. I had an ephiany when I read my last novel, "Life Beyond a Miserable Child" I decided to write my life story. While writing, I became stuck, this was back in November and I haven't written since. My story is mine, but it involves decisions that my parents made, I made and close friends that I didn't want to come back and haunt them. Did I really want my children to know the awful things I've done in life? Will my story stop my father from reaching his political goals? Several questions like these invaded me and stopped me dead in my tracks.
One evening I was watching my idol, Oprah Winfrey, and she said something profound. Whenever youre trying to make a decision, know your purpose, then everything will become clear. Ah ha moment. I thought, what is my purpose for this book? Is it to free myself? To help other struggling young girls with no hope? Single mothers? To show what I've come from and made of myself?
Struggling young girls with no hope. Thats my purpose and thats what I will keep in mind while writing.... With God's help I pray my book will be published in 2011 and it fullfills the purpose intended. Hope.
