repost from elsewhere, another welcome on a writer's forum
I am a new writer. I was encouraged by xxxxx to write. I ironically do not even like to read so this is way out of my realm. But I will do the first book and see how that goes. If it does decently I will go on and write another book. I am here looking for any advice, opinions etc... Feel free to contact me with ideas.
"...perfectly understandable..." replied the goblin noting how fewer and fewer people wanted to read at length anyway, where the goblin seemed no different from anyone else then, or at least no different from the majority of humans he came across in dailylife out there or upon forumland here, adding "...so if you yourself don't want to read where most people don't want to read neither, doesn't that kind of leave a threefold choice of
giving up, or
continuing bookwriting, or this
livewriting then...", where the goblin's being a livewriter meant that he wrote upon a medium that everyone was increasingly reading, for his posts were short enough not to demand too much from the reader though with enough substance to merit his writing them, and becoming quite known anonymously in the process, concluding "...I mean if you want to spend months writing something that you'll then sell on amazon for 99cts, then surely flipping hamburgers would pay a better return for one's efforts, moreover, that ebooks world is saturated with ebooks already where today one can simply become known by one's persona upon forumland here, plus forumland is the growing readership between the two readerships isn't it...", whereupon the goblin smiled tapping hard upon the red welcoming carpet turning it green for a far as the eyes could see, completing his welcome then, for all he tried to do was simply to draw those readers towards his pen by way of his posted now, smiling "...nothing to it really, but so overlooked too..."
