This Is My First Blog Post On Goodreads

I'm finally writing my first blog post on Goodreads under my author profile. What a long journey. I've learnt quite a lot along the way... mainly about myself, I must admit! And also a lot about the craft of writing. I'm really looking forward to connecting with real live actual readers on Goodreads. I think it's going to be lots of fun.
