More about me.
I've always wanted to be a #writer of #scienceFiction and #fantasy but working as a #computerProgrammer, #softwareDeveloper, #agileTrainer, and #coursewareDeveloper is how I made my money.
I've written one #romcom #novel so far, not yet published, and a few articles on #extremeProgramming which were published. I might be a better editor than a writer.
my literary heroes include Terry Pratchett #discworld and Theodore Sturgeon

@rayckeith@techhub.social Pratchett is my favorite author. So sad he's no longer with us. If you want to try the self-publishing route, Draft2Digital is good. And if you want a tip on editing: use text to speech software to read what you write. Editing has mostly gone form being a chore to a joy. This has saved me from repeated passes of editing after I finish a novel and made me more efficient, because I do the same thing with the previous day's writing.
