Hi all. I've always wanted to write. Sadly, I'm a procrastinator and very good at it. I don't know what happened but somehow I broke the procrastination barrier and managed to publish a book. It comes about a novel (pun intended) 700 years late, or so it feels. And it seems like my order of execution isn't that great too. First I publish and then I look for helpful writing hints on a forum. Great. That's totally me. Anyway, here I am.

Welcome. That's me too. I put my first novel out in 2015, and then pulled it two months later when I realised I had no idea what I was doing. Best of luck, and enjoy your stay here.

Thanks and yes I fear the reality check. On the other hand, it was a good learning experience.
