The earliest in life that I remember doing any writing was in middle school, Junior High. That was a long time ago. I had a crush on a girl and almost every day I wrote her a poem and handed it to her in the hall. I never asked her out, held her hand, or walked her home. I was too shy for that. I ran into her in a department store about 10 years later. The first words she said were; "I still have every poem you ever wrote for me. I keep them in a shoebox under my bed and often take them out to read them again". I was surprised, to say the least, and flattered.
Over the years I would write when the idea struck. That's the key for me. When the idea strikes, get writing. I could never sit down and write anything without that one thought that triggered the process. Once started, it flowed, but there was always a great deal of editing that would take place after.
I started writing The Second Coming of Angela in about 2005. I had written three chapters and, one day, a client asked if she could read what I had. I sent it home with her and the next day, she returned those chapters and asked for more. She would return for another two or three chapters every two or three days. I finished the novel, at work, in less than a month and a half. F Then I put the manuscript in a box to edit later. Unfortunately, other things got in the way, including a six-year stint in Peru, and it took sixteen years before the editing began and a total of 17 years before it was finally published. It is also been translated into Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. The sequel to the novel is currently slightly more than half finished. Just for fun, I also published a book of short stories, Three Odd Tales.
