I believed him. My parents supported the idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was truly self-published in 1978. I did the typing and had copies made at Kinkos. Hauled my copies to Reigle Press in Flint, Michigan and was able to get 75 copies of my poetry book Only a Start. Most of which were given away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, my dream was to write a novel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, I found National Novel Writing Month. It begins November 1 at midnight and ends November 30 at midnight. You kamikaze write every chance you get. You don\u2019t edit or fix, you just write. I didn\u2019t even start writing until November 8th. I was never going to reach 50,000 words and finish this novel. Surprise, I finished just before midnight on November 30th. My first novel was written in twenty-one days. Yet not published until 2006.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I have a new dream. I\u2019ve been around publishing for a lot of years. I\u2019ve written seventeen books with more in the works. I had a small publishing company for six years. It\u2019s time to do what I really love, help other writers get their books written and ready for publication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, I have created Rebecka Vigus, The Writer Whisperer(R) and have created programs to help writers. I am group coaching and individualized coaching. I want to work with YOU as a person and help you reach your goals without all the mistakes I made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dream to be a writer began when I was ten years old and a teacher told me with my imagination, he would see me in books.
