It's a Novel Idea

I'm a writer at heart. I'm mainly a poet, but am trying to venture out. I started this blog to try to expand my horizons in the writing world, and now I have started to expand further and start a novel. I have wrote numerous short stories and poems and articles, but never a full fledged novel.

I keep asking myself if I can do it or not.

I came up with the idea recently when I started reading a book and got upset that the story wasn't going how I wanted it, and realized I can make a book that goes exactly as I want it to go. 

So I sat there thinking and my brain did it's thinking things and voila! My novel idea begins.

I started writing what would be wrote on the back of the book to get readers interested and am going to copy and paste it here straight from my mind to your eyes. Feel free for critiques, opinions, rants, raves, questions, comments, concerns, etc.

Enjoy.

"He loved her like he had never loved anything or anyone before in his entire life. She was this  girl that showed up in the most random place, but help the most important part of his life. She was that feeling you get when you get out the shower and use a towel straight from the dryer, still warm and extra soft. She was that first flower that you saw after a long harsh winter, the hope that something better was about to come along. She was the beginning of your favorite song after a long day when you just wanted something good to finally happen. She was all that was good in life. Was.

He would swear up and down that the girl standing at the supermarket, perusing the produce with the short blonde hair was her. The girl that he joked about being so short compared to him. That same girl that squealed whenever he hugged her from behind and lifted her and spun her in circles until they were too dizzy. Until the woman would turn around to an awkward teenage boy staring at her, did he realize she was really gone and out of his life." *Written by Darcy Deckard*

It's All Alright

It is my strong belief that one of the keys to happiness is to not worry about money or anything for that matter. This says a lot coming from a person with a severe panic disorder. I consider myself to be genuinely happy person, mainly because I was raised on the concept that money isn't everything and that in the end, everything would work out.

"Everything will be alright in the end, if it's not alright, it's not the end."

This idea was especially important to me when I applied to college. At the time, my dad had just passed away and my mom was unemployed because she had been taking care of him, so honestly we had just about nothing. Prior to the passing, my mom and dad had both lost their jobs, so income went from $50,000 a year to below the poverty line. 

Drastic chance.

But throughout all of this, we never worried. We prayed each night, and everything worked out. 

When I applied to college, I was fortunate to receive a near full ride.

All-in-all, money doesn't mean everything. There is the relationships that we have and our relationship with GOD. Maybe the world would be a better place if everyone took even just one second to work on these relationships before worrying about money. 

"Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?"

Proverbs 17:16

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless."

Ecclesiastes 5:10

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

Matthew 6:24

These are a few examples in the bible.

In all honesty, if society had not made money mean so much, maybe we as individuals would not make our world revolve around the paper and metals we pass around. What about the living beings being mre important than these materials items. 

Where is the love?
