I am continuing to post my novel, "Christmas Angels" on wattpad.com. I hope that you are visiting me there and reading it as I put it on the web site. I plan to post one chapter at a time as the days go by. This should happen three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and again on Friday. I hope, but I can't promise. Life has a way of interfering with the best laid plans, at times. That shall be my goal, and I hope you will read it there, vote for it, and feel free to make comments, in structure, spelling and any critiques that you may have.
In just a few more days we will start driving to Florida to escape the long, cold days of winter. We will make a stop for about one week on the way, to visit our daughter and her family. After that, it is over the border and always south. I will miss my extended family while we are away, but just until mid-April when we shall return. Hopefully, the weather will be much warmer here by then.
I shall write another entry on Wednesday, when I publish chapter Five of "Christmas Angels" on wattpad.com. I hope that you like it!

Into The Great Unknown
Well, its up now. Chapter 3 of "Christmas Angels". It is on wattpad.com, under my name, Richard De Wolfe. Give it a read and tell me what you think. This is a new venture for me and I am hopeful.
It is very scary to put words on paper, but that pales compared to actually putting something out there for all the world to see. Fear of failure keeps us from doing so much in life. From an early age, we are often told by others that we are not good enough, bound to fail, foolish to try, and so many other negative things about ourselves. It is not necessarily the case that others around us actually want us to desist in what we are trying to do, but they are only reflecting their own self doubts when they inadvertently do this sort of thing.
Be brave, take your best shot, it is the only way to discover who you really are. Sure, you will fall short at times, but the road to success is paved with failure. If you never try something new, you are never likely to accomplish much. If you fall, get back up, brush yourself off and try again. Maybe in a new way, but try. Life is not a dress rehearsal and you will never know what you might accomplish unless you try.

Onward And Upward (I Hope)
Today I will be posting chapter two of "Christmas Angels", my first novel. It is the story of a woman who was born with a very bad heart. In adulthood, she has an unexpected child of her own. But can she survive to raise the child? Chapter one seems to have had a good reception, thus far, and I am very pleased by this. I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to read it and also to express your own opinion and to suggest improvements where needed. I will be relying on you to help me out like this, all along the way.
If you haven't yet seen it, you can access chapter one, and now chapter two, by visiting me at www.wattpad.com. You will find them both there for you to read. In the days ahead, I will add one chapter at a time until the entire book is there. It is free, so check it out. I hope you will join me and enjoy "Christmas Angels". If you like it, please vote for it and ask your friends to take a look and to vote for it, too. Cheers and happy reading!

Best Foot Forward
Ok. This is it. My first novel is done and I want to publish it. I have decided to put it on Wattpad.com to start with. If people read it and like it, I will go further with this one. Don't be shy, I'm hoping to get comments on this, both good and bad. Just keep them constructive, so that I can learn from them. If you find errors or omissions of any kind, please let me know. I will use these comments to make corrections as necessary. Please don't hesitate to correct my grammar or spelling, too.
What do you think of my cover? This is a cement figurine that I photographed just for this purpose. I thought that it was quite appropriate, since the story is about several women, who love Christmas, and their angelic characteristics. If you like this first attempt, I have another book in the offing. This one may be the beginning of a series of novels. More about that one, later. For now, check out "Christmas Angels" by Richard De Wolfe, at www.wattpad.com. I'll be glad that you did. ;)
