Hello,

I'm substantially down the track towards the completion of my first novel.

It's been an unexpectedly long journey, and I still have a long way to go. So far:
- Five professional edits;
- 10+ Beta readers;
- Writing skills courses;
- Building my author website;
- Optimizing my website for lateral thinking related subjects; and
- TWO relationships LOL.

I've come here to learn, to listen, and to grow.

I'm also looking to be a BETA-Reader for someone who has a fiction novel of exceptionally high standards. Speculative or historical fiction and adult sci-fi are my preferences. Warning, I have been told that I'm highly critical.

My first book: "We should never have trusted the aliens"

The series: "Lateral thinking investigations ... of the third kind"

Hopefully, I'll get the chance to talk to many of you online.

Michael Muxworthy

Update.

Thank you to those of you who searched out my website and contacted me. Some of the impressions you left in "comments" were awesome.

Welcome from another Australian - we're taking over the joint ;)

And yes - it always surprises me how long it takes to write something. Especially compared with, say, reading something - but it sounds like you're well on the way. And you've found an excellent resource, so settle in and look around.

Don't worry - we have a sticky for that. We have a sticky for most things, actually ;)

See you around!
