Adventures in writing
I will be seventy years old next year. Every time I think about it, I’m reminded of a quote I read somewhere… “I thought growing old would take longer.”
After spending most of my creative energy pursuing a career in art without success, I decided to switch gears and try writing. I shouldn’t say there have been no accomplishments with my art. In 2018, the pinnacle was winning artist of the year in Gilbert, Arizona. Here is the watercolor getting me the award.
Despite having won many ribbons over the years, my lack of marketing skills has left me unable to turn my passion into a financially viable enterprise.
For the last two years, my art has taken a back seat to my writing. I hope to find marketing my books easier than art, but perhaps there is little difference. Having just published my second novel, with my third well under way, I hope this blog will inspire others who struggle to achieve the same goal. I like to think I learn something every day, and I will freely share any of my experiences and knowledge here. Of course, I hope to hear from anyone out there with a question or a comment.
Survive was my first novel, followed up by A Dose of Reality three months later.
Both books are available through Amazon and other fine book sellers.
