Hello everyone.
My name's Mike and I'm an Aspiring Writer. I've been doing this on an off for a while now but in the very near future and going to be blessed with some extra time for a while. I intend to make the most of it.
Anyway, I think the expected/normal approach here is to introduce one's self, build some relationships and then pluck up the courage to submit to Pop-Up Submissions. Well, I've kind of done things the other way around (well, I do write about time travel!). I was very grateful to @AgentPete spending a chunk of his time reviewing the first part of my first manuscript (Phoebe Fortune and the Pre-destination Paradox) yesterday. It was a great experience and really helpful to get insights into the agent process. Thank you! BTW, I was in the chatroom but was being a little shy...wasn't getting my haircut!
Anyway, I'm here it introduce myself so I'll shamelessly cut 'n' paste what I sent to @AgentPete as it appeared to trigger a little chuckle...or was that pity?
I'm an almost-40, mid-life crisis denying, Marketing Manager for a technology company. In my spare time I'm a geocacher and father of two (not in priority order - honest). Oh, and yes, also an aspiring writer. My first novel about Phoebe Fortune was written initially for my children. Their encouragement and constructive criticism has led to many refinements and 34,000 fewer words than they had to endure.
Working in technology, the thought that technological progress is almost always fleeting and often destructive to history, plays on my mind. My first of three planned novels extrapolates that thought in a very literal sense. It tells the adventure of a time travelling girl and a future technology that, in greedy and neglectful hands, could lead to the very tearing up of the past.
Looking forward to getting involved in what looks to be a great community. I hope to both help and be helped.
Thank you for listening.
