At the end of last year I got a hair brained idea to do a little writing. Nothing new right? Well maybe a little new. I decided to take a stab at writing a book. It didn't quite make the 50,000 word writing requirements, but it did make the "novella" standard at roughly around 26,000 words. Not too shabby.

Here is the thing...I am thinking about sharing it with all of you. All of "you" is probably like 4 people if you don't count my wife. I have let others read it and they like it...but the common critique is that it's rough. That's true. I haven't done any editing to it at all. I just wrote from the hip the entire story. It's in desperate need of someone elses input that can help me bring some creativity to it and show me the areas where I need to spend more time at.

My eventual goal is to release it for a small amount of money...and then give all the money to Speed The Light Missions. Whether as an ebook or a hard copy, I don't know just yet.

Anyway just throwing that out there...Oh yea...the name of the book is "The Great Awakening". Here is an exerpt....

"I do not remember the first time I heard His voice. We were told to expect the rushing of wind or the sound of trumpets. We were told a lot of things, but that isn't how it happened. It’s not how it happened at all. None of us asked for any of this, but the truth was we were divinely created for this moment in history. This “time” was ours to change. The Lord steadied His hand, guided our hearts, and with the smallest of voices ushered in a great awakening." The Great Awakening by Jim Coursey

Also working on another one for my kids right now that I have committed to making a novel...the working title is "The Sythian Key".n Key".
