My life story? Not much to know.
I
was dumped into an orphanage at birth with absolutely no name on the
certificate. So I started life as a 'blank'; an unrefined product.
Pretty poetic, huh? Anyhoo, 6 months later, a nice couple adopt me and we live life simply, on an island in the sunny Carribean. 6 years later, we move to New York, where I have spent the majority of my life.
Got my bachelor's diploma in industrial design there. My obnoxious friend used to call this 'baby architecture', haha.
Endured a variety of life humbling, ego destroying, and wallet crippling events occur over the years.
Held a variety of jobs out of need and not want, such as:
poetry translator
design assistant
maid
portrait photographer
demolition & maintenance
shipping manager
customer service
movie extra
production assistance
special effects makeup artist
book keeper
office admin
store clerk
wood shop tech
human resources (brief stint)
hair stylist
And those are just the ones off the top of my head.
Some
of these gigs had the potential to excel at, but my heart just wasn't
into it. I do remember daydreaming at every job I had, and kept thinking
how the stories I weaved in my head would make great movies. This,
while I was helping to lay down gaffing tape on the set of an independed
film. I've always gotten yelled at for this drifting off into space,
and realized that there is no job I can hold where I cannot shut off the
daydreaming, be it for practical or professional reasons. It occured to
me that many years ago, a teacher in middle school once told my parents
that this daydreaming that I do would follow me into every corner of my
life.
How right she was!
So
I decided to make it into reality. Enough is enough! It's easier now
more than ever to make books from the juices of the creative leaky
spigot in my head, and I am taking full advantage.
That's where self-publishing comes in...
At
current count (and since the inception of this site) I now have 27
books on the back burner, some of which are series. I use this blog as a
means to document my trials and tribulations into the foray of the
competitive publishing world.
I will try services and software, and write about it.
I
will find the most useful info and write about it. No need to scour the
whole internet if I can bring you the best resources right here in my
blog.
And
if you're reading this, you're clearly my competition. To which I say,
game on suckas! I look forward to reading your material as well!
Get your name on my mailing list so you can stay on top of new developments and my latest harrowing publishing adventures as a novice writer.
Thanks for listening!
