Scott M on fiction
Got to admire Scott, written a lot of books and articles in his time and
now is working towards a fiction title. I like Scott wrote a lot when I was young and it was a dream come true to get my own book out there, non-fiction as it was. The flame to write fiction also like Scot still burns away, so hats off to him for giving it a serious shot. There is an old saying of "write what you know" and I am not sure personally I would write about computers. I am sure Scott's idea will be corker but the writer in me would fancy a challenge, to write about my other interests, to find drama and excitment about a topic I don't live and breath 24/7. Maybe that way it could stay fresh, maybe. The biggest challenge facing Scott will be finding a publisher, with his publisher contacts he should find it easier than most new authors to fiction and his subject material will mean a potential captive audience. However its still far from easy and some authors write 10 books before one gets published. As I say however you have admire Scotts ambition to do this, maybe some day I will have a serious go too.
