Fiction
writing is my passion, but to some extend so is teaching. For a long
time I didn't realise that it was exactly what I had been doing when I
worked as a consultant - I taught people the requirements for exporting
their products.
In case you were wondering, I would make a terrible school teacher, but sharing knowledge, that is a different story altogether.
Last
year I wrote non-fiction for NaNoWriMo in November, and found it more
difficult than fiction writing for that particular challenge. My project
is the development of a Course for Indie Writers, that includes
everything except writing. There are many local and international
courses on creative writing and another is definitely not needed.
The
course is aimed at the South African indie author, because the stigma
of "traditional is better than indie", is very much alive and kicking in
this country. Sad but true.
With the exception of one or two
small details, the course can pretty much be used anywhere. The manual
for the course will be published to be more accessible to a wider
audience, but it is still aimed as part of a three day face-to-face
interaction.
I have learned loads of things on my journey as an indie author, and hope to keep learning more.
If you have any pearls of wisdom, or useful links, to share, please do not hesitate to add them to the comments.
