My focus on writing has taking a detour with the holiday parties and gift giving season. I also referee high school basketball, so I’ve been running up and down the hardwood most evenings.
At the back of my mind is always my writing, something I probably take too seriously. I should release some of my work on this blog or just go ahead and release one story soon.
In today’s publishing world, stories centered around Filipino folklore is niche. Is there a major publisher who would take a chance on it? Never say never, but so far my efforts have proven no.
Everything in due time, I know. I am just like any other writer. Meanwhile, I try to laugh off my quandary that many writers go through, but I do it Pinoy style by asking Ate Vange for writing advice! This video on YouTube hopefully makes you all laugh! Happy holidays!
Have you thought about giving it away? My favorite author does that, but he also started with a massive weblog folloring at boingboing.net. http://www.forbes.com/2006/11/30/cory-doctorow-copyright-tech-media_cz_cd_books06_1201doctorow.html
Food for thought Matt! Have a great New Year and see you at the next softball game (if I make it).
I will check out your favorite author. Learning is growing.
