I know what it's like

I know what it's like to not measure up to the standards society sets

I know what it's like to lose a furry baby and be buried underneath a mound of grief  I know what it's like to struggle to make the ends meet far enough to survive from one day to the next  I know what it's like to put off homework and at the last minute work on it until very late I what it's to want more and have less I know what it's like to have a lot on my plate and feel like I will never get done I know what it's like to be at a crossroads and wonder which way to go I know what it's like to be so afraid of something that you stay up all night I know what it's like to know there is a line between the rich and the poor and the unspoken and not cross sign I know what it's like to all of the memories of your life in a box and keep it hidden away just in case I know what it's like to worry and be a little overboard I know what it's like to know I am blessed and I am thankful I am not a diva and I am not stuffy I know what it's like to be and feel rejected I know what it's like to have a one track mind I know what it's like to fear the thing people think is silly I know what it's like to not trust and I know what it's like to let a person go in your life that shouldn't be there  I know what it's like to know I am blessed and I am good  I know what it's like to take a risk even if it breaks your heart I know what it's like to slow down and savor life.  I know what it's like to want to make a difference and hopefully do so I know what it's like to have a million ideas in your head but no pen or paper to write them down I know what it's like to hurry and ever stop to be thankful for what is now I know what it's like to see the dream come alive I know what it's like.

Colleen Coble Interview

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write? "My writing process always starts with setting- weird I know. But I've found researching the setting springboards me to plot points and character details. I knew I wanted to set the series in Michigan's Upper Peninsula My readers are passionate about the Rock Harbor series so I wanted to have,  Annie  a part of that community.
