After years of voracious reading and a keen interesting in writing I've decided to take the plunge and start taking my writing seriously.
The inspiration was ignited when I recently read a marvelous book called "Let's Get Digital: How To Self-Publish, And Why You Should" it's written by David Gaughran and it's a fascinating and informative read. I urge you to check it out here. It’s a must for those who are interested in self-publishing. I think digital self-publishing is the future for new authors with the advent of e-readers and Kindle Direct Publishing.
So, what do I like to read? I read anything I can lay my hands on, although my favourites are dystopian and horror novels. Lately I've started to develop an interest in crime novels; I think I can thank my time spent watching crime documentaries for that.
I'm currently really enjoying the latest Stephen King novel. I've been a big fan for years but was initially a little sceptical of how his latest one would turn out. The synopsis didn't exactly have me salivating. Please forgive me Mr. King, I was dead wrong. Brilliant read so far. When I've finished it I'll give a more in-depth review. You could be waiting a short while for that though I’m afraid; it's so good I'm reading it slowly to savour every page. So apologies in advance for that.
I’m excited to be starting this writing journey and making some friends while I do so. As I learn more about the craft and business of writing I will not hesitate to share my knowledge with you. I’m a member of the Absolute Write forums. I’ve checked out a lot of writing forums and it is definitely one of the most informative and active communities I’ve come across. There is a lot to learn there. If anyone wants to check out my posts there, I post under the username Sane Man. Yes, that is indeed a nod to the late, great stand-up comedian Bill Hicks.
Well that's all for now, if anyone has any comments or questions leave them below and I'll get back to you.
Thank you for reading everyone.
