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 if it's good it becomes a film, not a bestseller that people read over and again or recommend to friends. No one reads your writing except to see it as a blueprint for visual interpretation. The good thing is you learn to get lean with words (like in a short story), as well as pay strict attention to grammar and punctuation. If you don't, it'll probably hit the trash can before they get to the inciting incident. Then they log it into a database that all the studios use as PASS and you're back to square one, needing to generate a new idea. Makes novels almost sound easy now, doesn't it?

Like most writers, I began in my youth--in my case 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.

I have a completed novel that will be available for sale on Amazon, November 1st.

Currently I'm working on an urban fantasy noir detective novel, and have several other novels in various stages of development in "the drawer" that I can dip back into should I run out of ideas. I'm sure none of you know what I'm talking about. 🙄
