First perhaps a little about myself, I am (at time of writing this) thirty-three years old, married ten years and have a gorgeous three year old daughter and reside in the Highlands of Scotland. In regards to my career I have for the most been working in the IT industry, which hopefully means I shouldn't have any trouble writing this. I started writing my first book after needing something to keep my mind busy while I was at home ill, I was diagnosed with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) back in 2014 and so as a result do get tired very easily, but through the experiences I picked up through the years it took me to get diagnosed I decided I wanted to share this in the form of a book and hopefully help someone in the process and so "Shingles to M.E" was born.
As the book was going to only experience the years in which I was diagnosed and leading up to it, it was going to be quite a short book however this was probably the best thing for me as not having written a book such as this before perhaps starting short was going to be the best bet. However being short didn't mean that it was going to take me a short amount of time and altogether "Shingles to M.E" took approximately six months to write, proof and publish online so might say that this was quite quick but for me this took longer than I wanted, I'm not a very patient man. One of the main issues while writing the book was that I am Dyslexic and so everything had to be checked and re-checked and quite often words and sentences were in the wrong order which made proof reading quite a challenge for my wife. So Dyslexia and CFS it was a little bit of a challenge but once it was completed it was a challenge I felt very happy with, it was a sense of accomplishment. There were times where I did think, "can I do this?" but I did and I was very glad when it was finished.
In conjunction with blogging, I will also be letting you know about the books I am writing or at least planning to write (without giving to much away of course). So hopefully I can give you a sense of my thought process, the difficulties of writing much larger books with my health conditions and also HOPEFULLY give you something to look forward to with regards to your next read. So for my next book I will be writing a science fiction novel and I will keep you up to speed with its progress.
I will put links below for "Shingles to M.E" and look forward to hearing on any and all feedback.
Thanks
