I wanted to share my cemetery story with you this week in honor of Halloween. It isn’t scary in a traditional way, but it was a frightening moment in my writing journey, one where I nearly talked myself out of pursuing my dream of becoming a published author. It taught me a powerful lesson.
The part I wanted you to watch starts in the minute 2 mark, but feel free to rewind for the entire conversation.
The interview starts with me entering a writing contest before I was a published author. I had worked so hard on the book and went to the awards ceremony with high hopes of winning. The book that later won a RITA didn’t even place in this contest.
I was driving home deciding that I wasn’t meant to be a writer and stopped at a cemetery to clear my head and found a message in the strangest place.
Watch the interview here to find out how I found triumph through perseverance.
We all run into roadblocks in working towards our dreams. I truly believe that is what separates successful writers from those who throw in the towel boils down to three things.
1. Perseverance – Even when you feel like quitting, your next victory may be right around the corner. Don’t let small roadblocks stop you before you reach your goals.
2. Take risks – Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Enter a contest, attend an event to network with other authors, set up a talk about your book at the local library. Taking risks helps you grow whether it is a good experience that builds your confidence, or teaches you an important lesson.
3. Hard work – If what you are doing isn’t bringing results, spend more time on learning the craft, put in the blood sweat and tears to reach your goals.

Hello, It meant a lot to me to travel for my best friend's wedding, and the British Airways Office in Johannesburg was instrumental in helping the trip go smoothly. They gently assisted me in preparing all of the trip paperwork and even reminded me of the little things that could be overlooked in a hectic timetable. From the moment I arrived at the airport, their ground crew helped me with my bags, guided me through security, and kept me informed about boarding. I arrived feeling rejuvenated and prepared to commemorate my friend's big occasion thanks to their help, which made the arduous journey seem lighter.
