This was my announcement on my Facebook page. I thought I would share it here too as it expresses how I feel:
So I started writing long fiction this year for fun but also in an effort to try to expand on my work as a storyteller. My hope is that my novel writing will help make me a better screenwriter and film producer too! And then, I did something crazy and very much against my internal shy kid (yes, she's alive and well inside me daily) and I decided to develop as a writer in front of the world, by writing and posting first drafts of work on Wattpad. And then with much surprise to the little shy girl, Wattpad reached out last month. They asked if they could feature my story Olympic Conquest on their Featured List. What?! Who me? Of course!, said the little shy girl. Folks this novella was the first story I wrote and published. And it shows (trust me, I know it's not going to win a Pulitzer). I'm definitely still growing as a writer and each day, I'm getting over my fear of failure and I'm building confidence a centimeter at a time. All of this is to say, thank you friends and family for putting up with all my FB posts and being in my corner. I really do know you're there and it keeps me going. And thank you to those who have read my novels and told me so - you touch my heart. And thank you to those who collaborate on stories with me and honor and respect my contributions. You all enrich my creative soul and I couldn't be more appreciative. And thanks to Wattpad for making this little shy girl's day! So without further ado, here is a link to Olympic Conquest on Wattpad. And now I'll get back to my writing! Thanks everyone! xoxo http://w.tt/1uayCed
And there you have it! I hope you check out my novella and keep up with my storytelling at my new Facebook page for my writing: https://www.facebook.com/janekellykosek
I'm also designing a new Web site at http://www.janekellykosek.com so stay tuned for that!
Olympic Conquest can also be found on Amazon, Nook, Kobo and Google Play!
Here's to continued improvement in all of us as creative artists and to making many more stories come alive on the page and on screen.
