Okay, I'm not published but I am working on my second book, number two in a series of three. I have been writing for well over thirty years, I just never showed my stuff to anyone else until recently. As I prepare my submission package as it were, I find myself shrinking. It has been a long time since I felt this apprehensive about anything, excluding the normal concerns that are part and parcel with parenthood of course. I remember the day that I heard a bullet buzz past my ear, subsequently I had to change my shorts. This feels a little bit like that.
No spell check? I can't do this, how can I possibly expose myself like this? In no way do I consider myself a real writer, I never went to college, I never finished high school, opting for the G.E.D. so that I could work full time and buy the old shovelhead that I loved so much. I do know this, I know that the path I chose all those years ago was not the path I was meant to take. I know that when I write, when the words fly through the conduit from my imagination to my fingertips ending up on the paper I feel good. So here I am at this website, no one is real here either and who do you trust?
I have a lot of work to do, and I am hoping to educate myself as to this publishing business. It is my hope that many of the answers I need can be found here at Absolute Writer. I appreciate what Jenna Glatzer is doing, I guess that we, as those who love to read and write do share a common bond. Thank you for this opportunity, this anonymous opportunity that allows me to explore all of this without having to let anyone see me while I do it. That would be scary.
