I wonder what it’s like to write full time.
I would love to be able to do it. But, I face the same
conundrum that many authors face: the need to make enough money to support the
writing.
I have twenty-seven titles available at Amazon. I have just
put up the eleventh entry into the Justice Security series, and I’m working on
the fourth entry in the Sardis County series. I have another Justice Security
story started, along with two stories that aren’t really anything yet, but one
could be for a new pen name.
And I can’t seem to get them done as quickly as I'd like.
So far this year, I’ve published three short stories and one
novel, and I should have at least one more novel ready to go before the end of
the year.
The job I love is storytelling. I enjoy every word that I
write. I’ve taken out frustrations with my stories, and I’ve gotten my private
revenge with many of the characters that have met violent ends. I like coming
up with situational jokes, and things that give the reader insight into a
character. I like entertaining the reader for thirty minutes, or an hour, or
several hours.
It makes me happy.
I wish that I could do it full time. I certainly would have
much more output, and you, the reader, might benefit from the new stuff that I
would be able to write.
But, not quite yet.
I still have to stumble along, and write a few words here
and there each day.
But…maybe…someday...I’ll get the chance.
And I will blow you away with what I come up with.
That’s a promise!
Meanwhile…
Keep reading!
