Does one give a reader a brief description of one's physical characteristics, one's educational, marital and parental background, facts about one's place of birth and one's hometown?
Or does one stop referring to one's self as "one" and just get on with all the details that might prove relevant (or not) in the future?
I think I'll take the second option.
So I'm 17, soon to be 18, and I want to get my book published. Well, a prerequisite of getting your book published is that you actually HAVE a book to publish, so for now, I'm only going to chronicle the events that occur along the road to writing a novel.
Maybe even something having nothing to do with writing at all. Oh the horror!
A detail or two, in case you were wondering (or might wonder in the near-ish future).
I'm a freshman in college, studying towards an engineering degree. The passion for writing came to me only a few months ago, so I am relatively new to the craft.
I do it because I enjoy it, and want to get my idea out.
That's it for now, for as any writer worth their salt knows, the true skill of a writer is the ability to reveal just enough information as required, nothing more, nothing less.
Kind of like the nutritional information at the back of a can of chips.
