People and small raccoons often ask me if my website is just a blog, or if it is an Author’s Website. The correct answer is door number four – Both!
I am indeed a writer. I have written over 200 poems, 100 short essays, and over fifty short stories. About a dozen of my short stories have been published and I have a book of humor published on Amazon under the name Howard Dart. My detective/mystery novel of over 70,000 words is finished and seeking an agent. I have two other books I am working on.
I also wrote a daily blog for ten years in Miami that was fairly popular, averaging about fifty to a hundred visitors a day.
I write all of the time. This doesn’t count the millions of memos and reports I wrote as a Bank Manager and then an Assistant Dean at a Florida university. Creative fiction? I could show you the quarterly reports I put out for 25 years in my university position. They were indeed creative and some verged on Science Fiction.
All of the writing classes, consultants and other people who make a living giving guidance to little published writers say you need an Author’s Website, looks like this: https://www.jackreacher.com/us/
Or maybe like this: https://www.oceanvuong.com/ I am not sure I want that. Might be too premature. So, instead of calling this an author’s website, I prefer to call it a writer’s blog. That is what it really is.
