Hi folks

I was sitting here pondering about writing books and the challenges that sit alongside such a feat…

It occurred to me that writing is far more than just putting words into a legible state and sensible order…

Is it really a good idea to invent words or spellings when you’ve got to check it all? Is it a good idea to have deities as characters in your tales which means trying to capitalise every ‘H’ in He or His? Is it a good idea to write multiple books in a series when advertising and the cut-through is such a challenge in a sea of e-books? Does it make sense to write books that don’t easily slot into a particular genre?

What price is fair when you’ve spent a long time delivering the best product you can but you also want it to be accessible to as many people as possible? How long should be spent pushing out content on social media channels, and should it be disassociated to the stories you write?

There are a lot of questions which I didn’t think about when I started tapping out letters on a keyboard about 7 years ago but which I had to learn on the way.

I count success that if I enjoy writing it and am pleased with the final product; and if only one person enjoys reading it then that is all good.

Thankfully it isn’t just one person in the main and it is wonderful to read impartial reviews when they come back.

And now that “(Im)Perfect” is in the public ether, I await the first feedback…because hearing from readers is a real highlight. If you have yet to give any of my books a try, all I can say is that I hope you do and if so, thank you for joining me on the journey of discovery.
