Profile: Stephanie Bose

I ran across this blog by Stephanie Bose a few months ago. I love that she's clearly stated her goals right there on the home page:

The dream: to be a published writer. The challenge: to do it by the age of 40 (4 years to go!). The vow: To never give up, even if 40 comes and goes.

Stephanie works full-time in media/communications, and she's getting married in a few months, yet she's still cranking out the word count.

Back in February she heard back from an editor who read a partial manuscript she submitted and wanted to see the full. So she wrote like crazy to edit and finish up the book.

Now she's celebrating the two-year anniversary of starting to write seriously for publication, and she posted some great tips on what she's learned.

Above all, revel in the time you have to sit and create new worlds. How many people say they want to write a book but never do? Millions. How many people actually do it? About 3%. How many write THE END? About 1%. And I'm in that 1%. How great is that??!!!

I love Stephanie's enthusiasm and her dedication. I have no doubt that dream of hers will come true.
