Shocking by Carcer Kane

I'm a long time writer returning to narrative fiction after several years of writing screenplays. The problem with scripts is that no one reads your writing except to see it as a blueprint for visual interpretation. The positive is that you learn to write using an economy of words (like in a short story), as well as pay strict attention to grammar and punctuation.

Like most writers, I began in my early teens--burning out blue ink ballpoint pens by scrawling in a spiral notebook. My handwriting was atrocious, as was my craft. 😁 But like most things, the more you practice, the better you get. Fast forward forty years and here I am.

My first novel, Empire of Light 1: The Spirit of Innovation is available through Amazon.

Currently I'm participating in 12 Short Stories (free) and 52 Scenes / 52 Weeks for 2025. Found the recent 30 Days of Plotting to have been incredibly beneficial. Deadlines have always worked for me, this site is exactly what I was looking for.
