A friend in the past year told me I had to read a book called, Outlander. I didn't buy it for a while then one day Amazon had this flash sale of seven books in the series for Kindle. I jumped on the deal as soon as my friend posted it on my Facebook page. I still didn't start to read the series but knew I got a good deal and would start it one day. Well, that one day was near the end of 2015 and I just started book 4.
I didn't know what to expect. I didn't even read what the series was about or any reviews. I was just going on my friends word that it was a must read. Diana Gaboldon, wow! She writes like I want to write. I will be honest it has some content that is shocking to me but her words and the no hold back writing makes me want to read more.
I have fallen in love with a fictional character. I told my friend that recommended the book if Jamie dies, our friendship will too. That was in book one. Recently Diana Gaboldon posted on Facebook about when she started to write Outlander I love this part...
"So when I made up my mind to write a novel, I did have the security of knowing that I knew how to write. I was not worried about my ability to handle grammar, spelling or puncuation, and I knew what a paragraph is."
These words jumped out of the post. I know what a paragraph is too! I need to remember that I need to write for me and forget the world. I think Diana had it right from the beginning even though she never intended for anyone to read Outlander. I need to write like no one will ever read my story. I think that is why I love her story so much, it wasn't written for me, it was written for Diana. I'm glad she shared her story with us, I can't put it down.
