Did you ever think of recording your own audio?

I'm not nearly so confident in my own verbal skills to do the job.

Oh hey, a writing thread! Neat.

I’m planning a few novels at the moment. One’s pretty much ready to be written but the other two are still up in the air. I’ve wanted to be published since 2015, but didn’t start taking action towards it until 2020.

I still need to brush on and practice writing more often, since my prose is as stale as dry bread and not particularly descriptive.


I suggest looking into a local writers group, as one can get constructive (and admittedly sometimes not too constructive) criticism. Plus, exposing your work to others can do wonders to inspire you to write; it certainly worked for me.


I think there's a writer's group in my town, but I'm not sure how active or how serious it is. I went to one of their sessions before and it was pretty alright. I'm currently in a writer's group online.


I just finished a creative writing class at a community college.

One challenge: I'm 66, and most of my classmates were fresh out of high school. So, they had read books that had been carefully curated for them, so as not to offend parents. None of them had been exposed to books like Portnoy's Complaint or The World According the Garp. My bent for blasphemy and sex didn't appeal to them. Most of them were immersed in young adult fantasy, which doesn't appeal to me. Anyway, some of their comments were helpful.

^^^
For the record, I think I'd probably prefer your writing to that of those kids.

I finished writing. Now, I'm going to work on a book cover, before I do a careful proofreading. It is satire, so I want to make it as punchy as possible.

The basic story arc was inspired by Ray Epps

I think that "conservatives" are still mad at him.
