My First Year

First Year
What seemed like forever, has only been a year. It has been a whole year, come October the 14th. That was when I published Catmando! It is a good thing I was not expecting to be a millionaire within that first year. Whew! It was never about money in regards to my writing. Yeah, yeah, you heard me right I did not stutter, I am not writing to be a millionaire, for that, I buy a lottery ticket at my grocery store along with those coffin nails.
As I have said before, in the back pages of my blog, writing is an addiction for me. What I thought was unique for blind people was to be able to write in the dark. There goes another busted bubble.
A friend of mine, Melody, suggested I Google blind author. And much to my dismay, I got 45 thousand hits. I was not alone in the dark.
I should have known better, but one of the greatest blind writer, in my opinion and not counting myself, is Homer. We are still reading his stuff thousands of years later. Would not that be cool? To tell a story in meter. I tried it once and let me tell you, IT AIN’T EASY! I also learned that John Milton was blind his last twenty years of his life. I was not aware of that when I wrote Paradise: Lost and Found. A must read.
There might be only a handful of blind writers publishing independently, but there are many blind writers and to think I had something unique that would separate me from the two million writers publishing with Amazon. Oh well.
Despite the competition, I still feel special and have friends who say and I quote, “You’re definitely something else.”
Anyway, The Beggar King is progressing slowly but shirley. ;]
Stay tune, the reissue of Hostage and the Beggar King are coming soon to your e-bookshelf nearest you.
