Book Cover Wrap

Great questions I need to answer - When did you first know you'd be a successful writer?

I get looks when I tell people I am an author. There is a range, which goes from tedium to undivided attention. In between is the claim "I could write a book, about my life and it would sell out of the stores." Or I have gotten the sweet dig- "well anyone can write a book nowadays." Jaw and conversation drop, I guess it was meant to be funny (NOT)! My favorite question opens the door- "What do you write?"
I smile, I gush my story out in a brief yet captivating pitch. An elevator pitch I think it's called, is something that can pique their interest, but wouldn't take longer than an elevator ride to the 18th floor. A few seconds will due. I try to keep it brief because any longer and you lose their interest any shorter and you don't get what you are waiting for -- The GASP!
That's when I first knew my story would work. When writing my story I gasped! I teared up, I broke into laughter and wrote it down.
