Elevator pitch

Hi all
This is like going to a party where you know nobody, not even the host, I hope the Canapes are good

So Hi,

I'm a mature male , like a good cheese, interesting if a bit smelly. I live near Hong Kong on a small island called lamma , look it up on Google maps if you like. Im here because I'd quite like to write better and to learn from some real pro's. My style is strightforward, probably too much so, I tend to say in ten words what others can say in 100, which means my output is short and to the point, unlike me , I'm 6 foot tall.

I've just self published a "short book" called Insidious, available on amazon and hopefully if i can work out how it works on smashwords as well. This is a non fiction story of a man you have never heard of that probably designed the way you live your life, if you are Mr or Mrs average that is. at 10,000 its really short so you can see what I mean.

Im just tinkering with the next project that is really an autobiography, so , as I'm getting on a bit , should reach past 10,000 words

see you all on the forum

Robert B Parker never used a 100 words when 10 would do, most un-American - He was very successful; quality is always preferable to quantity. I am an old male and have no intention of ever maturing...
