But then I also write comedy sketches, and I read books. And, if I feel strongly about something I read - I sometimes write reviews too. After all, if someone goes to the trouble of telling you a story, it's not unreasonable to tell them if you liked it, or not. Feedback helps a writer to learn, to develop their skills, and to gain a following. Yes, especially if those reviews sometimes seem a little harsh!So far, I've written and self-published two novels, a memoir and a travelogue. Along the way I have had feedback that has encouraged me to develop my skills - and while I won't pretend I sell a lot of books, I do enjoy writing. I take my time to make sure that everything I publish meets a high standard. To me, there's no point in churning out substandard dross that fails to get interest by the end of the first chapter. If I want to build up a readership, then I have to work for it. I set a bar for myself that matters, and I won't put my work out there until it meets the same standard of the books I like to buy from other authors.If that's how you see it too, then I hope you will read my stuff. I've also created a website (www.alanveale.com) where you can learn more about me, my published works, kangaroos and tattoos.And you can use it to offer your opinions too!view less
