Thanks for reading

I have three goals in mind for this blog.

  • To reflect on my writing practice.

  • To connect with a community of other aspiring authors who suffer from the same authorly afflictions as I do.

  • To enhance my writing and broaden my experiences with the words.

Rules

  • Fiction writing comes first.

  • Every word on this blog serves to enhance my craft and to achieve publication.

  • Never post more words than I have written in prose.

Here it goes...

It's happening, finally, I think.


Maybe.


I want to be an author. It has been a dream of mine on and off for a while. Largely off as it never seemed like something that was real. Books weren't written by people. They are created outside my limited perspective and land in my hands at a shop. The idea that I could manifest one of these tomes and have that happen to others is very exciting and I want it to happen. Yet I am at an impass. It's hard. Very hard. The more I learn the harder it seems. But I am not one to shy away from hard work. I'm more the type that stalls when I don't know how to proceed. And I already know that is going to happen a lot throughout my growth. I almost called it a journey like I want it to end. Off to a great start.


I want to write for a living. I want that book and its bretheren in my hands and on my shelves. I want to create and this is the best way I know how to excell at that. I think.


Anyway, I'm off track. My goal is to be a novel writer of fantasy. This blog is not the goal and I do worry that it will serve as a distraction from my goal. A deceptive form of productivity that could derail my progress. So I have a rule; I will not write more words here than that which exist in my ficition. So any readers of this blog can see my progress and know that I have alteast achieved that much in prose towards my goal.


Wish me luck but if you have some spare talent to throw my way, I won't say no to the help.


Matthew D Masters.

So far so good

I honestly didn't think that writing would be this fun. Up until recently, I wanted to be a writer because it had a certain mysticism...
