Following the dream.......
Do you have a dream? Something you secretly (or not so secretly) long for in life?
Izzy, the heroine of my Sept release Defying the Prince, desperately wants to be a singer but no one takes her seriously. Despite the fact she’s been humiliated on a reality TV show and ridiculed by her family, she refuses to give up on her dream and I LOVE that about her. She believes in her talent and she loves what she does and she isn’t going to let anyone kill that dream. She pushes herself, she praises herself and she gives herself daily goals to keep herself on track.
I think strength comes in many different forms but sometimes it’s about having the courage to know what you want and not give in when things get hard and people put obstacles in your path. That’s Izzy. Writing this heroine reminded me that achieving a goal is all about knowing what you want and then going for it, one step at a time and not letting anyone knock you from that path.
Perseverance is a quality too many today seem to lack. I love characters with it- so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley,
DeleteThanks for coming by to chat with Sarah Morgan!
I like the reality TV twist.
ReplyDeleteHello Theresa!
DeleteThanks for swinging by to chat with Sarah Morgan about her heroine Izzy!
Sarah, your book sounds great. I have a copy and can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria!
DeleteYou know when I read some of the Santina Crown and was introduced to Izzy, I didn't really like her. She sounded a spoilt girl, yet Sarah made me like her!
Thanks for commenting!
Shelly I so agree that perseverance is important! I think that's one thing that Izzy shows in this story. Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah!
DeleteWelcome to Romance Book Haven!
I really ended up loving Izzy, which I didn't expect after being introduced to her earlier.
Hi Theresa, glad you like the reality TV twist:) I think these shows are often hard on the contestants and I built that into Izzy's story. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteMaria, I really hope you enjoy it. I had such fun writing it - I hope it makes you smile :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading this latest book when it arrives Down Under. Love the concept.
ReplyDeleteHi Frances!
DeleteThanks for coming by to chat with Sarah Morgan!
Thanks Francis! Hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat concept. I guess I need to start dreaming a bit bigger.
ReplyDeleteHello Patti!
DeleteGood luck with all your dreams!
Hi Patti! I think dreams come in all shapes and sizes but sometimes small dreams lead to bigger ones. I wish you fun with yours :)
DeleteWhat an encouraging post! I'm not trying to be a singer, but I understand how hard it is to work toward some goals (and I may or may not be referring to writing...). :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Emily!
DeleteAll the best with your writing related goals! And all your goals!
Hi Emily, glad you found it encouraging. Hope that hard work takes you closer to your dreams!
DeleteIzzy sounds like my kind of girl. You gotta believe in yourself. If you're not staunchly in your own corner, who will be?
ReplyDeleteHello Joy!
DeleteWell, yes! Izzy does sound like your kind of girl! I do hope you get to read her story!
You're so right Joy, you have got to believe in yourself. You are your own best friend :) Glad you like the sound of Izzy.
DeleteThat sounds like a good book. I love her perserverence!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteAnd you'll love Izzy when you get to meet her! Thanks for coming by to chat with Sarah Morgan!
Thanks Sherry, so glad you like the sound of Defying the Prince :)
DeleteShe sounds like a character with great determination!
ReplyDeleteHi Golden!
DeleteYes, that she is! Thanks for coming by to chat with Sarah!
Hi Golden, yes Izzy is very determined. She's a very strong woman and I really enjoyed writing her.
DeleteI like Izzy already! Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. When things get hard, that's when you show how important something is to you. Give up? Or keep going?
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, yes you're right it is SO important not to give up even when things seem hard. Izzy is a good example of this! She does keep getting knocked back but she keeps going because she believes in herself.
DeleteAlways keep going Janet!
DeleteHi Nas - hope you have a lovely weekend. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole!
DeleteSounds like a great story. I'm persistent myself.
ReplyDeleteGood on you, Medeia!
DeleteHi Medeia, glad to hear you share that trait with Izzy! I think it's a useful one in life. Thanks for dropping by :)
ReplyDeleteIzzy sounds like a wonderful heroine - such a great example, one who doesn't give up on her dreams!
ReplyDeleteHi Deniz!
DeleteI also know that you have such a trait, keep going on!
Hi Deniz, I hope Izzy will be a heroine readers root for and find a little bit inspirational :)
DeleteI love tenacious characters. :) I always want to root for them when everyone else puts them down, but they keep going anyway!
ReplyDeleteHi Shallee, Izzy is a perfect example of that! She has a strong belief in her own abilities and that helps her keep going when people put her down..
DeleteShe sounds like a great character - someone to really root for!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, I had a lot of fun writing her - especially some of the dialogue between her and the more uptight Matteo. I hope readers will love her :)
DeleteI love feisty, determined characters and Izzy sounds like one.
