Author profile of - John Andrew Rutherford on Lit Linc

It has always been a passion of mine to write. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write down, children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past. It’s time in my life to be creative, and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time. Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.

Greetings,

I have only been writing for one year. I didn't have any time before. It was a passion, and I'm glad that I persevered.

I didn't know when I started this journey that I would become an Indie writer. I create everything myself, including the illustrations.

I have only spent my time, but time enjoyed, using my imagination. I enjoy the writing.

I enter competitions to compare my style with others based on the same weekly prompt, get feedback, and read other authors.

My only reluctance is marketing and advertising. I have studied articles, asked so many questions. Received, in fact bombarded with so many SME's that guarantee everything, but the most important thing. When you ask them for guaranteed sales, on even commission on book sales, there is a long pause on the line.

I might commence a campaign thru Amazon advertising myself, I have all the independent guidelines, experiment seems to be the word I take most from the numerous tips and articles.

I just enjoy the writing and using my imagination. Creating illustrations, I also enjoy, all the creative stuff. I like the editing, the polishing, continuously improving and learning.

It might get to the point, that I will not publish. The writing is the most important.

It was something that was passion, on the bucket list, but no time, until recently. I'm so pleased I preserved, and I enjoy it so much.
