I don’t have to work
as hard as I do, but I enjoy what I do (most of it – editing still sucks), so
it’s a passion and drives me to do as much as I can every day to get closer to
my goals as a writer. I remember when my
writing goals were not as lofty as they are now. When I was happy to peck away and type a page
or two in a day, and maybe connect with another author on-line. To read something about writing to try and
learn what I ought to know to be a successful writer.

Captain Wiley Randolph and the Crew of the Whisper as they travel through

Sequel comes out this summer of 2012.
One of the reasons I enjoy writing is the sense of
accomplishment it gives me when I look on my book shelf and see my two
books. Each day I know I am getting
closer to more of my stories being published and joining them. With each new book comes new experience
gained through the process of writing and self-publishing.
As the days wear by at what seems like an ever increasing
speed I can see my books develop before my eyes. Everybody is busy and we each are responsible
for exactly where we are at this time. I
choose to be a writer and therefore spend every spare moment I have thinking
about writing, writing, doing research for my writing, proofing, editing,
promoting or something to do with writing.
I also get to watch and track the sales of my books. I can watch the number of books sold climb
each day, week after week, month after month as I am slowly becoming discovered
in the literary world as an author.
Your time is yours.
How you spend it is up to you.
When I think of all the years I wasted that I could have been writing it
makes me sick. It took me 44 years to
figure out what I wanted to do with my life, what I enjoy doing more than
anything else. Almost anything else, I
still enjoy playing with my kids and wife more than writing. Now as the days go by I know I have done the
best I can do that day. In the mornings
I hope out of bed and can’t wait to get back to work at doing what I love. I am doing more each day to get closer to my
dream than I ever thought was possible.
I am seeing results of my work that I would never have believed two
years ago.
The best part is when I read a review from someone who has
discovered one of my books and they obviously loved it. They got what I was putting out there, they
understood it, and enjoyed it. Then I
feel more than fulfilled because I got to share the magic and joy of reading
through one of my stories to a reader. Hopefully
I have gained a lifelong fan from that point onward as long as my stories don’t
get cookie cutter or predictable.
