My First Book Background: An Introduction of Sorts

Sorry if you have read this on my Rights of Fans blog, this a new blog I have set up specifically for my writing endeavours, that I will hopefully get to grips with in the next few weeks.

Let’s cut to the chase.

Four months ago, I decided to partially semi-retire (yes, I know, a contradiction in terms) and attempt what I’m calling a hobby career in writing. My partner — who I run our online vintage business with — had decided to train for a possible teaching career, or at least keep that option open. I won’t bore you with the details, but the practical upshot was that I could step back a little and try my hand at writing.

My only real experience of writing before this was a football blog on Lewes FC, a non-league club. According to artificial intelligence, and given the niche subject, it was incredibly successful. I never set out for it to be,  it just sort of took off on its own, last year my blogs were read in over 80 different countries, Lewes FC!

I’m sharing this excerpt here because some of you may want to read it, and it can only be found via wordpress reader at the moment on my new ‘ The Novice Novelist’ blog. Because I’m actively trying to garner interest in my new book. The full piece lives on my separate book blog, so I’m linking rather than pasting the whole thing to keep that site organised and build it up. This isn’t about gaming clicks—it’s simply the practical way to get you to the full post if you’re interested and hopefully follow my journey. If you do click through, thank you; that support genuinely helps me build my confidence and momentum for the book.
