Hey All,
Good to see everyone on here. These past few weeks I have been in and out of writing, but not for lack of desire! I've been preoccupied with being a caretaker to my mom after a pretty intense summer of surgeries, the most recent being last Thursday. But I still have the story of Alex on my mind and I fully intend to get back to the rewrites as soon as possible. Hopefully, I'll be able to break into the story again today. The rewrite progress is slow but I really do want what I put out to push myself as a writer. One of the ways to do this, is to READ. Read often and consistently. Writing and literature was never my number one subject. In fact, it was math which is why I find myself as a professional engineer. But reading some Michael Crichton, I really do believe that scientific professionals can come up with some great stories with some high drama and give a different kind of spin to the fictional world. For me, to write better, I need to study, I need to practice. I need to read. I need to understand sentence structure and pacing and story elements. It's a brave new world but I continue to plunge into it because that is my desire: to create a story great enough that engages you, the constant reader. Looking forward to continuing our evolving relationship, drop me any questions if you are curious. You can contact me through direct message on twitter (@author_tssmith) if you have any questions about the writing process or any suggestions where you think I can be better. As always, thank you to all! -TS
