Welcome!

Well, I've done it. I've put it out to the universe that I'm writing a novel, so I guess I better put myself in gear. The intent of this blog is to talk about, well, most anything. While I'm writing, I intend to look for copy editing work (online), so I will post about things like that, possibly do some freelance writing if I can find it, talk about how my writing is going, etc. If you're here, say something, even if it's just hello. I welcome any and all to my blog. You can also find me on Facebook, my page is Author Page: Chloe Cuthbert. Feel free to give it a like and take a look around.

I recommend it, at least for this book. The art is quite beautiful, and not at all intrusive while reading. If you go to Amazon

Reclaiming the Light

I have been quiet as of late, but it was for good reason. I have been working hard on my first novel, and early this morning, I finally clicked the publish button! I had a number of projects in the works, but the one that kept drawing me back in ended up becoming one I never thought I would share with the public. It began life as an untitled document, where I would go to vent. Essentially, a diary of sorts. I would write poetry, short stories, memories and the like, whenever I would have writer's block, and just let my fingers fly across the keyboard. I started realizing that I was spending more time on this than I was on the things I wanted to write. So, I began to go over what I had written, edit, add to, etc. And a story emerged, my story. It was not an easy story to write, but it was even harder to put out into the world. But what I have to remember, with each breath, with each post, each promotion, is that it is a story that should be shared. Not in order to have anyone feel s
