I Learn The Hard Way

I’m a guy that likes to try new things. I like to push myself into areas I’ve never been before. I once wrote a book entitled Roundtripping. I’ll be honest with you, it’s not a very good book. I’d say it’s filled with 100% too much self-indulgence and an overall sense of bigheadedness. I was so in love with the idea that I could write a book and put it on the internet, I never stopped and asked myself if it was a story anyone would actually want to read. I believed that I could break the rules with my writing and do something different, this belief dissolved into nonsensical wankering all over the story. I feel as a more mature person, that I must apologize for that story. but it taught me valuable lessons that I will never forget.

But Why A Pen Name?

Are you afraid? Is a question no one likes to hear or answer. This question often comes at a time when we ourselves have not yet decided what state of mind we are in. Are you hiding something by using a pen name and not your real name although it’s quite obvious who you really are? Is a question I image I will receive throughout the lifetime of my writing. So I’ll try and get ahead of the curve and answer that question for those who wish to know.

Worldbuilding: The framework

Worldbuilding is, to me, the most exciting and fundamental part of writing fiction. Before one can even type Chapter 1, the author has to have a place, a character, a time, and hopefully a reason. But those are just facts, objects that have the slimmest of connections to each other. Worldbuilding is the process of defining the bits that connect the facts of your story and make the story become more than just empty words on a page.
