Special Preview: From Girl to Goddess

by SofiaWren May 29, 2014

I’m celebrating holding my book: From Girl to Goddess. She just arrived in the mail.

“College grad and doormat Sam challenges herself to grasp more control in her relationships but can she handle who she becomes on this side of the whip?”

It’s been about a year since I began the project, which I rewrote last year during NanoWrimo. Since then I’ve edited once or twice…or three times in parts…

Editing drafts get fuzzy but I will call this Draft 3.

I’m about to get my hands dirty with blue ink and cover this baby with notes for improvement. Things have already changed from a few weeks ago.

But enough of my boring process!!

I have a surprise for you.

I wrote an article about my juicy inspiration for Blakely at Indiscriminate Writes and included—-for the first time ever—-a first chapter excerpt!

About my inspiration:

I needed to write, I needed to express the pain that had built inside of me and which sought release.

About a year ago I began to write From Girl to Goddess. It started out with my pen scribbling and scribbling memories from 2009.

Some people would have thought it irresponsible to have moved on to a new story before I had finished editing Line of Isis, the mermaid fantasy which had been my baby for the previous two years.

But when we are called to write—who are we to stand in the way of inspiration?

To me this story had been waiting to be told since I lived it in 2009-2010. It was the year I became a woman, a true coming of age for me. An odd one, definitely.

I just wish my naïve youth hadn’t ended with heartbreak and disappointment. I just wished it hadn’t been a process of feeling unacceptable, unlovable, and strange.
