I’ve wanted to be a writer since a boy and now the door is open and I hope there’s no turning back. The first two books I wrote, well, the first was turned down, but luckily my second was accepted for publication. I wrote a book about my experience at university while studying artificial intelligence it’s called: How to pass a degree with confidence<br />I started my blogs: How to Pass a Degree / The Bookshop Guru<br />Because it keeps me active and helps maintain creativity for my next book which is a novel about the senses.<br />Hope you don’t mind me mentioning my blogs.<br />AnthonyAnthony Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243406200159396531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413956056720605439.post-79421754661532026762011-07-15T08:50:08.647-07:002011-07-15T08:50:08.647-07:00Hi Ben, Thanks for following the blog and the comm...Hi Ben, Thanks for following the blog and the comment. Endurance is all part of the game and even knowing that there are days! No worries though, it was a momentary flash of green and I'm ready to rumble today and take on the world! <br /><br />Best of luck with your book on smashwords! I am hoping to put something out on Amazon this fall upon my agents advice. (Crazy I know!)<br /><br />Keep on with the writing, keep on trucking through the tough stuff, just don't be surprised if you have moments like I did last night. :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847466837385726846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413956056720605439.post-16640769908874419832011-07-15T00:28:55.263-07:002011-07-15T00:28:55.263-07:00I'm just starting this whole writing journey (...I'm just starting this whole writing journey (I have an e-book on smashwords that's been available for a whole 5 days. I haven't even really looked for an agent yet)but I'm certain if I were in your shoes I would feel the same way. It's like that in anything: for whatever reason some people fly out of the gate while others slowly build up steam. <br /><br />I'm not even going to pretend to give you advice, what I will say is I hope I can be as stubborn as you've been and just keep plugging along. I tend to become discouraged pretty easily, and if I somehow knew I could keep striving towards a goal over several years like you have, I'd be pretty happy, I think.Ben Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085262569862387857noreply@blogger.com
