Can’t tell the difference between a post and a page. Just trying things out here. If you’ve already read my first “page,” you’ve read this.
I’m a blogger! Been threatening to do this for years, and, finally, here I am. Admittedly, I have taken this step to establish a presence on the internet, and I hope that a few people will show up to check out what I have to say. I love to write and have been doing so since I was in grade school. I thrive on the challenge of a story that requires delving into the darkness in our souls, and I work hard to meet my own admittedly perfectionist standards.
I am here because of Lisen. Lisen is a friend of mine. We grew up together, in a manner of speaking. She taught me what it means to lose everything and come back fighting. I showed her what life on Earth was like, and, in turn, she has rewarded me with some of the best moments an author could ever ask for from a character. Now it’s time for her to venture out into the literary world, and I want to do everything I can to help her succeed. So here I am.
The book’s name is “Fractured: Lisen of Solsta, Book 1,” and it is available on Amazon in both hard copy and Kindle. This blog will often delve into Lisen’s world, but I also hope to look at writing in general, the pros and cons of independent publishing versus the traditional publishing route. When the need drives me, I will also write about the dilemmas of life as they strike me. I know it will take a while to build a following. This first blog is not likely to attract followers in droves, but it is a start. Show up in a week or 2 and hopefully I’ll have something to say that’s actually worth saying.
Looks like it will be very interesting. You have developed a very easy to read, flowing style in your writing. I have enjoyed your writing in the past, but this is so much better. Looking forward to more.
Keep at it. You are brilliant and success will be yours. Ooops, do I sound like a fortune teller?
As I said in FB, I am waiting anxiously for Book II.
I didn’t read it all, but this is pretty cool! A blog, no less. I have considered putting up a blog site. (For me, it would be a blah, blah, blaggh site.) There is one I posted as part of a world religion class I took. Evidently the professor left the blog active. Four years later, I am still getting comments, discussion points, and queries about what I posted on that site. It was my first foray into online “threaded” discussion via blog spot and the mechanics of it remain a mystery to me. For me, the blogishphere (sp?) remains an obsure place of fog and shrouded shapes. I never remember to visit the ones I’ve enjoyed unless a trigger is provided. Your FB post did that for me today.
Thank you and keep writing! (Gail)
