Roaches
Yep, it's scary to write a story and put it out there for everyone to read and judge. And believe me, you are being judged. It's like someone seeing your kitchen before it's been cleaned up. All the pots and pans, the spills, the soiled napkins, are on display. What if you have roaches? YUCK! Now that is disgusting. But sometimes people get them. So what do you do if someone sees your dirty kitchen and roaches? Do you try to explain them away or do you say, hey man, I bet your kitchen gets dirty too. Sometimes, people relate to a story and if it is close enough, they are going to like it, nod their head and say,, "I've been there too." I was afraid of reactions with the first book I wrote, but through that fear came freedom and realizations about not only myself but of others. Writing is liberating.
Book Excerpt
Bridge Tender
“Excuse me for biting my nails,” Carrie apologized to Mrs. Lloyd, a long time customer of Grocery World.
Carrie liked the older woman; she was always so polite and patient. They had become friends, sort of, at least Grocery World friends.
“That’s okay honey; I know you’re trying to quit smoking.” The woman leaned in a bit, lowering her voice, “It’s a bitch. I remember when I quit, I was mean as a snake and I gained forty pounds.” She tittered as she continued plucking canned goods from her cart.
“Thank you, Mrs. Lloyd, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
