Greetings,
I’ve created this blog initially as a place-holder to go with the various things I may or may not publish in the future. The idea is that, in the unlikely event that my writings garner the interest of others, this blog may be one format through which I can post about the numerous ideas floating around in my head.
At the moment I am unknown, completely obscure, and I take it as a virtual certainty that that fact will never change. The world is full of very talented writers who spin worlds that truly capture us. I would be presuming a great deal to count myself among them, and I honestly cannot presume that much. I can however state that it is an aspiration of mine, as it is doubtless an aspiration of many people. I really am just starting out, I only took up the proverbial pen eighteen months ago, and in that time I’ve written one short story (Colossus), a draught of a longer novel and about thirty other ideas that I plan to get around to some day.
For me, writing is a hobby. I do it because I enjoy the process, exploring the story as the words form on the page. I only truly write to please one person. I chose to self-publish Colossus because I’d rather have it out there, where people can see it and tell me where I went wrong than sitting gathering dust on my hard drive. Self-publishing has made it easy and inexpensive to do so, so why not?
I count myself as a Would-be Author. I’d like to consider myself an author one day. But I don’t know how good an author I’ll be. I guess time will tell.
