Writing
My first poem, “The Dream,” was published when I was in second grade by the district PTA. Not a big deal but I sure felt cool seeing my poem in the newsletter.
Other than that, I am unpublished with over 100 rejection letters from agents and publishers. I have no writing credibility, no success stories to share, and there really is no reason for you to visit my website except to make sure you are a better writer than I am and not following my proven approach to staying unpublished. The only thing I have going for me is that I like to write. So far I have found five people that enjoy it. Maybe you are the 6th…
You can download my first novel free or order a copy after I finish this last edit (message me if interested). I’m on the final edit and I’ll send it out one more time to publishers before I start on a new book.
Most of my writing has been technical or business oriented. I’ve authored business plans, feature specifications, tutorials, white papers, marketing content, and a 300 page technical manual for an avionic PC Card.
My true passion, however, is writing from my soul. Much of this writing comes from ideas and thoughts that surface first on the pages of my journals.
Consider this:
“To know the art of impressing the imagination of crowds is to know at the same time the art of governing them…crowds have always undergone the influence of illusions. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master.” (Le Bon, 1895)
I don’t want to be anyone’s master. I do, however, want to contribute stories that invoke imagination and illusions that encourage self mastery, free thinking, and help us break away from the media that does attempt to govern us.
Here are a few of my writings. Click the category to see a preview of each title in that section. Some of these are from years back and poorly written, but they show how I’veĀ improved (hopefully)Ā over the years.
