The Epone epoch

Author's blog

It all started with a dream…

by Philip J Davies on 19 July 2009, under Author's blog

This is my first entry. I am new to this online world and it scares me like having root canal therapy without anaesthetic does. So many people looking at my words… In time I will tame this www-dot-demon, which crawls up my back and whispers perfection in my ear, and make it call me master. But for now I am its bitch, and I respect it. (Occasionally it’s good to be dominated, trust me).

I am on my knees and I learn with pain…

Meanwhile, in the real world: it will soon be evaluation time for the Epone epoch. Once the website is complete, and faultless in detail, I will start sending copies of my work to various potential employers. And I am getting nervous about it, I can tell you. We all have doubts about ourselves - I’m not worthy - but this dream of getting a book published could just be delusion swirling around in my head? Why will I succeed when hundreds of hopefuls send off manuscripts every day and fail? Whose dream will be the strongest? We shall see, won’t we?

I hope you will join me as I walk an unknown path through the streets of publishing your first novel.

PS: And please forgive me any wrongs I commit in the World Wide Web. I am innocent…

If you cannot find it here then look deep within yourself.

A random thought:

When people die for no good reason it’s because of evolution; no divinity could be so indiscriminate or uncaring.
