In the spirit of Christmas I’m asking this very festive question – why the hell am I blogging?
Writers will tell you and me the same thing – “Dont ever write unless you’re getting paid!”
Well, like all Worpressee’s I’m not getting paid. So, I’m going to make sure in the New Year that I send off stories to get published digitally or in physical form.
Don’t get me wrong I love blogging, reading your blogs and posting whatever comes to mind any given day. Simply, I’m going to make sure I get paid. I’m not a capitalist pig only doing things for money, but why not make some from the thing you love doing?
I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.

I hear ya! 🙂 Where are you planning to send your writings?
Sounds great! I hope everything works out! 🙂 Happy New Year! 🙂
I’m with you. And – Santa- I’ll be happy if I just break even. I’m going to cut back on blogging and social media if I can – and get back to creative writing.

Anywhere any everywhere! I have a list of spots such as eastoftheweb. I dont even care if I dont get paid for the first few.

For free does not pay the bills. The electric company wants money and they do nothing for free.
I hope you succeed! I have the same thoughts.
Good luck for 2014! 🙂
Many thanks, you too!
