I'll let you know something about this book.

So it was 2014 that I had started writing this book. Yet I believe I became a member either 2011/2012 I think. My sister died in 2012. It was a devastating time and I already had battle depression. I went down and fast. Come 2014. I was in my apartment listening to Luther Vandross medley "Superstar" From his radio city Album. I heard it on Pandora. Now let me say this was around a time where so many people were getting divorced. I remember saying "Damn does anyone stay together anymore?" From Pastors that I knew to people in the media. It was disheartening. 

So anyway, I listened to the song and had a vision of this story. A man having an affair and seeing how far he was willing to fight and endure for his mistakes. Now at the time I didn't have a computer. I simply had a 3g Samsung phone. I started writing on the phone. I had hit hard times and my unemployment had stopped. I didn't even have money to catch the bus. I was living in MIami at the time. So I would catch the neighborhood trolley and go to Miami Dade College where I briefly attended many years prior. I knew that my login still worked because I would go there for the computers through the years. 

I had struggled to find employment. So I wrote. All day. Sometimes from 12 pm to 6pm when they closed. I eventually fell on even harder times. But I told myself... God is testing me to see will I be faithful and consistent with a little and then he will bless me with a lot. I said he will bless me with my own laptop. Little did I know times were going to get harder. Soon I couldn't even afford to keep my lights on. I had exhausted all resources and programs. My lights were off and soon the water would follow. I would charge my phone at my neighbors house up the complex and steal water from my downstairs neighbor water hose. I would use the bucket and fill it up and bathe with it. I would use the rest to flush the toilet. I did this for 3 months. I had a Pastor and his wife who helped me tremendously during this time. I would write on the charged phone in the night and The lab during the day so I didn't have to be in the house with no lights and water. Or hang with my Neighbor Misty. Chapter after chapter I poured myself into these words and characters. I laughed when they laughed. I cried when they cried. And I prolonged their ending because I knew I would not only miss them so much, but all of you. You all had become my family . 

October of 2014 I had been blessed. A great job. I would then write while in training. Training was tedious and I needed to focus... especially after I saw a girl fired for failing one of the tests. So I persisted and would remain in the classroom on my lunchbreaks writing the entire hour. By this time I had saved and was able to Move. And closer to my job. But Because Miami had a terrible bus system.. It now took me 2 hours instead of 3 to get to work. I later got that down to an hour and a half. 

My father sent me a Tablet and I proceeded to write every evening on the bus. I decided to do mid week chapters because people were so excited about cliffhangers that they were left with. 

So Now that I was getting more work responsibilities, I had decided to write and update with a mid week teaser and then Saturday I wanted to use the whole day. And just like I knew he would, God blessed me with my first laptop. 

I had decided that I wanted to go to Film school. So I did. Four times a week. two hour bus and train ride after working a full time job. Go to class and then wouldn't get home until 1am. Which I would walk a mile home from the bus. Then I started to call a cab. Still didn't miss a Saturday or midweek teaser.

    Friday night coming from work ,I would buy food and snacks. Awaken by 8:30am Saturday or earlier and begin writing. Not stopping to eat or drink until 10 pm. The most I would do was pee. I remember almost passing out because I was so dehydrated but I wouldn't eat until I finished your chapter.

The comments were my greatest reward. I would read and reply to each one while finally enjoying a late dinner. Hearing the scenes that made you cry. The moments that made you angry. The parts that made you seek God for yourself. I lived for all of them. It kept me going during a very dark time in my life. 

    You all kept me in a very dark time in my life.  I remember when I was hospitalized because I had stopped eating. I was so depressed and dehydrated. I was finally diagnosed during this hospital visit. I was very transparent with you all. Many of you would send me messages to check on me and see if I was alright. Send encouraging messages. If I didn't update or communicate often, many would reach out. I can not fully express into words, how much you all mean to me. What you were and are to me. You invested in me. You supported me. You cared. You are my Family.
