Transformation

I never thought how hard it was going to be making the transformation from reviewer to author. But it has been a bit difficult, there is research that goes into it so you don't step on anyone's toes inadvertently. You have to think of what names you want to use for your characters not just first names but last names too. Luckily being a gamer that I used to be I had first names and well some last names that I could use. I pulled out that list and started going over it too see what might work and then some started popping into my head. I wrote those down and then started doing some research on a few other bits and pieces of information I needed, most of it myths and legends. But then I combined alot of different pieces too, being a reviewer helped to because you see how authors see things in a different points of view so I was able to take that and add that to my research so I wrote those bits down too. There was so much I needed to research before I started writing, after I did start then my husband said why don't you write a small story of a day in the life of each char to see how they speak to you. So that is what I am working on now. I have one done and I will post it for you soon, and I am working on an other now. Which of course I will get posted when it is done. Each one will get posted as I get them done that way you can see the characters and how they think and feel. It may not give you a prospective exactly on the story but you can still think about what your favorite character may be, and even give me some constructive criticism if you would like.

This may seem weird but I want to thank all the authors out their for all the hard work they put into writing their wonderful books us reviewers read. Up until recently I knew there was some difficulty doing it but didn't really understand how much. I have recently started writing my own book and that is what brought me to write this thank you, because now I understand just what does go into the writing of a book for us to read. I know there is still alot more that I have yet to find out especially to get it out there and having it published. I just wanted to thank all of you for writing those wonderful books that you do and so well I might add.
