Author Letter

Dear Reader,

Thank you for reading Half Finished. Of course I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you found a takeaway from these characters in this story. I wrote the book out of a need of my own, to finish some of my UFOs. We started a group at our church and—thanks to getting together—we all finished our waiting projects, some very long-waiting. My dream is that you will find this helpful in finishing your own. I’ve learned the best way to get something done is to take a class or meet with some friends who agree to work on something, too.

Thus began our original small group, and after writing Half Finished, a new dream for me. What was good for us, and for my characters, might help other people, too. So, if you just happen to think you might like to belong to such a group, here are some very simple guidelines.

1. Invite creative people to meet with you.

2. Keep it simple: no board, officers or agendas.
