The Bookshop Guru
The other
day I randomly picked up a book in the bookshop to read. I do this often. It
was a crime thriller. I wasn’t familiar with the author. But then that’s not
news. Curious cat, I turned to the back and read the titbits. It sounded
interesting. It felt compelling. So I started to read the first chapter. I was
disappointed. Dejected, I continued. The second chapter was the same. I
couldn’t find the voice, and I gave up almost disillusioned. I didn’t buy the book.
Finding your
voice is just as important as the story. Some writers make it easy for you to
follow and others not so. Finding your voice is what I call it. Sure, there is
a story to concoct. But, as a writer trying to write a novel, finding your
voice and keeping the flow and the reader interested in the art. Knowing how to
keep the flow and the voice makes it easier to construct a novel. A chapter
then becomes a task that is easier to frame. It’s broken down into smaller
parts. I am still learning, but I like it.
At the
moment, I think I have found my voice. I hope so. Only time will tell. Writing
book reviews and musing about writing gives me a chance to be reflective.

That is why
I write this blog. It gives me focus. I need it. Otherwise, I get stale.
Reading a lot gives me the chance to sample other authors, not just the ones I
like to read. Some books I buy and some I don’t. Some I borrow. A mixture of
nonfiction and fiction books is what my consumption dictates.
Are you listening, what are you dreaming?
As Jesus said, “Belief is everything.”
In my book “It’s Never Too Late” read how dreams do come true, but be careful what you wish for. Understand the secret of greed and you will attain one of the secrets of prosperity. The book will also take you on a journey and explores love, money, luck, and much more.
