Hello to all budding writers.

Just getting into this blogging business but want to get chatting to other writers about anything and everything to do with writing. I'm a former English teacher who took up writing seriously five years ago. I started with a series of illustrated  children's stories called 'The Colonel's Collection' (www.thecolonelscollection.com). Having collected a healthy pile of rejection slips from publishers, I used a local firm to self publish. This has been a good experience but I still find the marketing side of things both time consuming and challenging (I'm not a natural sales person!).

Recently, I've finished the manuscript of an adult novel, 'Broken Journeys' (you can read an extract on www.youwriteon.com) and am actively seeking an agent/publisher for this!

Keen to hear from others out there about their experiences of self publishing or finding an agent/publisher. In fact, keen to chat about any and all aspects of writing. So, talk to me, fellow writers and prove this blogging thing works!
