Inaugural Post!
Greetings all!
So this is it. I've dusted off an old blog of mine (okay, the profile...not the blog itself) and recreated another blog.
Let's hope this one sticks. :)
So I've been writing for God knows how long, and up until a few months ago, I haven't done much with them. Sure, I'd write a book every year. I'd keep countless ideas stored in phones that no longer work, random .doc files, and in my new iPod. One of these days, I may actually sort and/or organize them.
I'm sorry, I had to step away from the keyboard and laugh for a little bit. I don't really do organization. It's the randomness of life and the things that keep me on my feet that really motivates me. It is also a factor in my teaching, although I can't really admit to too much of that in public. So, anyway...
My first novel, the first completed work of fiction that wasn't intended for a screen, was completed years ago (and I do mean years). I decided that he should be the first one to be published.
First let me say that NaNoWriMo is a random and yet beautiful creature. An unexpected post from there led me to a coupon code that allowed me to venture into CreateSpace.com and create a sample book. It looked pretty good. It felt right to hold the thing into my hands. Now I flip through a second published draft and it still feels good and looks right.
Long story short, it will be available in various channels this year. If you're really interested, I did the ebook stuff first.
You can get 50% of the novel for free and pay $5 to get the rest of it online. Go here if you want to read about me: http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/kevinjohnson or here to link to my book page, where you can sample or purchase the book: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/7866
I'll hit you up with the published, physical copies and where you can purchase them in the next few days.
Have a wonderful New Year's Folks!
