Who The Heck Is Writing This Stuff?

Hi, I'm David Ben-Ami, a 27-year-old still clinging to the title of 'Recent College Graduate.' I'm a full-time fiction author working on my debut novel, and I love to blog about writing and life. I also love procrastinating, watching Netflix, all DC sports teams, and going out with my friends. Subscribe to this blog right above the picture to follow along!

How do you properly say goodbye to a story that’s lived in your head for the last 4 years? It’s been a long process, one that’s started and stopped many times, seen me consume 517 gallons of coffee/tea, and culminated in me leaving my job to write full time and give this story the attention I always dreamed I’d be able to. So I’m a little sad, but mostly excited(!), to have finished the final rewrite before this book goes out to the powers that be to see what they think of it. Good thing I have my next story all lined up just waiting to be written. On to the next! . . . . . . #writing #blogger #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #amwriting Crazy to think about how much time has been spent on this story, and crazier still that the final rewrite before sending it out is almost done.
