Write and blah

 

Yep, I bought one of those vintage typewriters. I have a Hermes 3000 and I love to bang these keys and see the writing appear unevenly on the page. It's a mess, I lost the habit of typing in this manner a long long time ago. 

I hurt my fingers, I get them stuck in the spaces between the keys, I jam two or three letter arms together. I write and rewrite ten times the same paragraph. 

And yes, I absolutely love it!

In the articles called "Write and blah", I will share my journey as a writer. 

Lately I took down all my books from Amazon. After more than 10 years as an Amazon writer, I might have earned less than $2000. At the end of the day, I believe that, if I was naturally good, someone would have discovered my chef d'oeuvres by now. It did not happen, so there's no harm in taking down my books, forgetting about the hundred dollars yearly royalties that painfully make their way to my bank account, and revamping the entire process of becoming a writer. 

I will start everything all over again, fix my books one by one. I will learn how to be a better writer, one step at a time. I have plenty of time to do this, as long as the candle is burning. 

If you are reading this and can relate to my background story, get in touch, leave a comment (I know soon you won't be able to sign up for an email update on Blogger, so you need to be proactive at staying in touch).

I will try to set up a Twitter account to go with this, so it's all looking up from down here. 👊

And Then She Was Gone

      I have to say this before I start my blah-blah: how many similar books are there? Authors Christopher Greyson, Luca Veste, Rosalind No...
