Oh to be full time writer. What does that take?
Maybe a patron… or a rich wife. Or getting into a set routine that will allow you to practice your craft and then have the ability to pursue it as a passion and a career.
I don’t have a patron and my wife was hoping I would be the one who was rich.
So, that leaves me with trying to balance my day job, my home life, and my various developmental writing and internet projects. This blog always seems to come last. But maybe by making it one of the first things I do after supper (not ‘dinner’, because in Maine, that’s the main Sunday afternoon meal) it will help get my writing juices going on my other projects.
One such project that has taken me away from this venue is my first book titled “Die, Monkey, Die.” And… it’s a children’s book. Ok, the title might not give that impression, but it’s a kid’s book in a Brothers Grimm, Roald Dahl kind of way. 12 four line verses and 24 pages. And now I am looking for an illustrator to partner with me. This will also be my first foray into self-publishing and I think I’ve settled on LuLu.com. No upfront costs and what looks like a wide and professional array of printing options.
You definitely will be hearing alot about this book.
Peace
Jonathan
