As time goes on I wonder at times how long I may last in this world. Bodies change they gain weight, they lose weight they get stronger they get weaker, backs get injured, necks and parts give out sometimes. We all go through it as we age and the craziest part is not the fact we age, but the way the younger people think about the elder people. They believe because you’re older you can’t do what you did before, or you’re sexually dead, or not worth the effort. The truth is most elder people have more to give than the younger generation may think, experience does count for something. Just, a commentary on it is all. I tire of being disrespected because i hit my sixties these days, it’s a sad commentary to say, some people are rude, inconsiderate and just out right full of shit. anyway that said on with life and my blog.
I write little books and I find the hardest part of writing is making a story long enough to get it into a book to sell. I end up writing shorts is all, so I am deciding to slow down a bit and write, and see is it helps. I have been told a few of my better works are too short and some folks want me to write longer stories, they like my plots and that I have to be careful with punctuation and grammar, but write. My wife says I get better the more I write and yesterday handed me a list of Naval Stories as Titles and told me to write them out as I told them over the years and make them into one book. Like a book of Naval tales for all to read and enjoy so I have her list, and the thoughts in my mind stirring my mental pot so to say, I will see if it stews up and cooks well, before I do so.
In the meantime I am currently working on writing a murder mystery and trying to make it long enough to make into a real book. I am not big on dragging out my stories so far, which is why most of my works are short. I am learning though that people want more for their money, and they deserve a better plot and longer story to keep their interest for their money so to say. So I am going to make an effort with this one and see if I can lengthen it before I make a book out of it.
I also joined Kboards, and posted a profile there and a list of my books and their covers some too. Trying to see what makes other Authors tick so to say and what they think of my work and maybe get some advice on my stuff. I also try to post my books and blogs on Twitter, FaceBook, Pinterest and other web sites if I can.
