Hello,
I am a 20 something odd writer. Self published mostly. I have written one book on law enforcement and even one on English lit. [essay writing].
I want to try my hand at fiction now.
I am looking to get some feedback on my writing as I feel I add too much detail. Most of the new books I see around are at the local library and Coles are mostly big in dialogue and small in character / plot details...
Some more tidbits.
My spirit animal is a cougar because as a 16 year old I happened to see a cougar sitting beneath a tree just outside the house for close to 30 minutes and despite asking three [of the six present] different people no one ever saw this feline. He was sitting on the edge of the forest that backed onto the strata [condo], just on the other side of the old fence. We were close enough to nature - the town over it wasn't unusual to see bears just across the highway, and the local campsite the year before had been torn up by a grizzly - but I knew this was my real spirit guide.
I am part aboriginal through my mother's side of the family.
I prefer the old writers over what is nowadays. Anything pre 1990 is my preferred read.
I am just as picky about movies - Les Miserable was the last one I have bothered wasting money renting. I stopped going to theatres years ago; I pay for the flick not to listen to simpletons talk on their phones or screaming brats.
I am ex-military - got tossed because of a medical issue [physical not mental thanks]. Their loss seeing as I have taken to competitive shooting and my accuracy is 95% shotgun, 98% pistol, and so forth.
