WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING A NEW AUTHOR
Finally I would like to say that I am very proud of myself after a very long journey, I was able to publish my book after years of work. You can buy a copy of Masquerade at Amazon.com.
So what's it like being a new author on the scene. Well there are many words: Over joyed, sense of accomplishment, inspired, anxious, and the list goes on.
I do feel a sense of nervousness because this the first time I ever did something this big in my life (besides graduating from college with a Masters). Even though I produced short films for youtube; publishing a book is far more difficult. However the film was difficult a first but have gotten easier. So as I continue to write other books, the process will become easier.
Publishing my first book is also a stepping stone in many ways. For one, this is only the first process in producing an actual fillm.
Second, it is a great resume builder. If I could encourage anybody to write, do so. You do not have to have a thousand page manuscript, but if you can write a 150 page manuscript (8.5 x 11) and reformatted to 6 x 9; you will have close to 200 page book (more or less). By publishing a book and putting that info on your resume will tell people that your determined, have the concentration, and the focused.
Anyway stay tuned for the next blog. How did I get my inspiration for "Masquerade."
