So... You want to write your first book?

I always wanted to write a book. You can say it was on my bucket list, and since I wasn't getting any younger, I decided to go for it! I remember two years ago when I started to write my book. It took me two months to write nine pages. But, oh was I so proud! That is until my computer crashed and I thought I lost those pages. I called my brother in law, Robert, in a panic and miraculously he was able to retrieve them. He called me and said, "I have some good news and bad news". He told me that he was able to retrieve my book, but unfortunately only the first 9 pages. Ha Ha! I told him that those nine pages were my book so far! He was laughing so hard that I panicked about losing that first chapter of my first book. But, that first chapter turned into a whole book over the next two years! I was so proud that I had finally finished it, and also nervous that maybe no one would like the book. The words I heard the most were "you did not write a whole book"? But guess what? I did! And it is now published and out there in the world. I hope you get to read it, and I hope you like it! Words of advice: no matter how slow your progress, accomplish something new!
