I have decided to come back and start writing blogs again on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have edited my banner because I no longer feel like I am rambling along as the fool. I know too much now to think I can optimistically walk off that cliff! So instead I am going to put a beautiful simple scene I wouldn't mind exploring although at the moment I am in between a small and larger city on the side of a mountain in Colombia.
I don't care any longer whether what I write is well received or even if it is found. I write for one reason and one reason only, because I love to do it. I have spent far too much time thinking "I don't know enough". What I am finding as I read what others are writing, hell, I know more than I thought! Sure I will continue to make mistakes but that is simply life and frankly, cannot be avoided, no one is perfect. I am tired of agonizing over my every word wondering if it is correct grammar or if it is going to met with good responses. One thing as an artist I should have applied to my writing that I learned a long time ago when I started painting, once it is out there, it is out there and fair game for anyone to make any comment about. There just isn't any way around it. If I want to have my say, then why shouldn't anyone else? These little writings are not going to be long and detailed and indeed, they may not be very informative in terms of technical things such as how to market or the other mysteries of selling. Trust me, I am NOT the person you want to read up about that topic. I think most of my sales on Amazon have been me buying books for my friends! The thing is, my lack of sales isn't going to lead to me making a you tube video about what a waste of time writing your own books as an INDIE writer! I do it, as I said, because I love it. It gives me a sense of purpose and grounding and makes me feel like I am doing something in my old age...okay, not THAT old an age, lol, but what I am saying is, I would rather be creating books, than sitting around complaining about how awful the world is and how it is falling apart. So if you find this site, and you want to read my little burbs, thanks, if not, have a great day! Cheers! RB
