Show Notes:

Cindy Gunderson had never planned on being an author. She had always enjoyed writing, but never saw herself as writing books. Then one day in January 2019, Cindy had a very vivid dream. The dream stayed with her, so her husband told her she needed to write it down. She was so excited to see where the story would go, she ended up using this dream as part of her first book, which only took her 3 weeks to write the first draft!

Cindy revised her draft and started working with publishers. The publishers liked her story, but told her in order for them to sell, she needed to heat it up and add some spicy adult content. Cindy’s whole goal was to provide meaningful, clean, uplifting literature, so this was horrible news to her. This was the point when she made the decision to self publish.

Cindy continued to write. She wrote four books in a year’s time and has another that is about ready to come out.

Finding time to write was a big learning curve. She has a full life: homeschooling her 4 children, teaching music, and serving actively in her church community, among other things. Something had to go.

Cindy decided the first thing she would sacrifice would be her TV watching time. She began devoting her evenings to writing. She also would write while she was waiting for her kids at their activities. Since she was writing as much as she could in small snatches of time, she learned to make good notes of where she was in her story so she was able to find her place quickly and not have to back track every time she started back up. She found that three hour blocks of time were the most productive.
