I have been writing fiction for almost five years now; played around with Goodreads, but am not impressed: so I decided to have a go at setting up my own website. Other people do this almost everyday don’t they?
Believe me, writing books is easier!
“Why a website?” you ask; “everybody’s into blogs these days.”
Well, my generation was brought up to keep themselves to themselves, if you know what I mean: “Walls have ears!” and all that.
Folks are more liberated now – share even the most personal stuff on social media – like to know what their friends are up to. More able to trust people not to scam them, or bully them online, or shop them to HMRC / Social.
So the very idea of second-guessing what someone else might be interested in finding out about me (not counting my bank details of course) is a pretty daunting prospect.
After creating a website, writing a Blog comes even harder than writing books.
