Its time to roll out the BIG GUNS!
I have been writing fiction for... I guess the better part of 24 years and I have always had my eye on publishing my stories.
Through hardship and stresses of life like loss of job, income, house, broken marriage, divorce, moving house and loss of life in the family... I lost my way.
However... Legends never die. They are still all there in my head, waiting to be cast into the world!
I sometimes go for long times without writing anything and then my dreams become increasingly vivid. It is as though my brain shall create something out of nothing if left without the proper outlet.
I HAVE been having an outlet - Blogging on Hive. Posting articles as well as fictional stories all enabled me to use this skill up till now.
But I want to start working on the big projects.
I was also inspired recently by listening to he radio where a 12 year old girl from local Cape Town had become a self-published author!
So why not me?
Why should I continue to procrastinate and not just do what I love doing?
I have crafted a story that just brings me so much joy. Inspired and influenced as it is by many great authors. A story of Epic Fantasy the way that I want to tell it!
I will be working together with my dear @clairemobey who can help me with the marketing and many other aspects of this sort of project.
I have big dreams and high hopes!
I will start creating a timeline for the re-integration into my old stories, to get back into the writing and prepping. To write new stuff, edit existing work that is completed and to create a timeline for publishing my first novel on KDP.
I will probably need to use some Hive money to help with the marketing promotions and to pay for some decent artwork!
So... wish me luck and watch this space!
Thank you for reading this post!
Cheers!
