Rambling Post
I haven't posted in awhile, but these are some things I've been thinking about.
* I learn new things all the time. It’s one of the joys of being a little older: being a little more willing to ask questions, a little more willing to admit ignorance without fear of feeling stupid.
* It’s been about 5 months since I put out Pain Center: The Novel! Which I wrote and edited in about 3 months and photocopied and assembled in my own home. I believe that effort is part of its charm. But then again, what do I know?
*I have been writing since I was a little kid. One of my fondest memories of my late Mother was of her typing up one of my old spy stories for me. (I think I was about 9.) She enjoyed reading the story as she typed it. I have since searched for it in my dad’s house, to no avail. Maybe someday it will turn up. It’s called “A Secret Agent in Danger.”
*When people find out I’m a writer they ask me if I’ve been published. I always answer that I publish myself. It’s just the way it has always been.
*I haven’t always had the best experience with critics. I’ve learned that the type of people who like my stuff tend to REALLY like it. Conversely, there are those who really hate it. I’ve learned this. People can hate me. People also hate really good authors that I like. It’s just the way it is. It doesn’t bother me so much anymore. It's one of the many things I have learned as this old man I've become in my head.
Anyway…
Keep your eye on this blog for future announcements. I will be doing yet another giveaway soon. And I might have a few plans for next year regarding new publications.
