I am an aspiring novelist currently working on my second novel. Many years ago, the thought of being a writer would have never crossed my mind. My first novel, much like my second novel, was started as a pastime, yet unlike my second, the first was never completed. Over the next five years my second novel have been completed, extended, edited, and grown to a point far beyond my widest dreams; to a point where I now wonder if I ever be able to truly finish it. That being said, the road has been long and arduous, yet as I look back I feel glad to have begun such a journey. If you have come across the pages of my second novel, my only wish is that you have enjoyed reading those pages as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
