In the Beginning...

Welcome to my first ever blog,

This is all new to me but I thought I'd start by saying that I am an aspiring author. It is my desire to be published by a Publishing company and whether I'm ever famous or not I don't care, I do this not for anyone save myself.

A little bit about me, I started writing when I was really young. Over the years I've spent a lot of time writing Action/Thriller type espionage stories. Some that I finished, others that I had the idea for but never reached completion. I think that happened because I couldn't push through the desire not to write at the time or I couldn't capture the creative juices that sometimes are there and other times allude me. I also have written a Star Wars novel that I originally wrote as a trilogy but I never finished it, I originally wrote the first book as a challenge in which I could prove to myself and others that I could write a novel.

In the last 5 years I've been working on my writing skills through Fan fiction. Going by the name Kandon Kuuson on http://www.fanfiction.net/u/879140/Kandon_Kuuson

I will say one thing, I have found people on there that if they wrote a novel themselves they would become bestsellers. They're truly talented people who really should be writing novels...if any of them read this the they will know who I'm talking about. On www.fanfiction.net I have written about 30 stories on there, varying from NCIS, Bones and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. My Longest was a 50,000 word NCIS story that was part of a series and it took me two years of on and off writing to complete it. But I think it was well worth the effort, I have to say that it was my best one. I really enjoyed writing it and I think the people who read it really enjoyed it too.

Since then I've started researching for a my first original fiction. As well as writing a few more smaller Fan fiction stories when I've had time. The goal at the moment is to have enough insight into the FBI, CIA, US Navy SEALs as well as how to be a better author.

I've started to write up character profiles, which has been a task in and of itself, who knew it would be hard! I'm just glad that I'm beginning to grow my skills not just in detail of the story but creating characters with depth who are human, who have emotions and feelings and aren't just Hollywood cardboard characters. I still have new characters to create and I still have yet to create my nemesis who is truly evil but I'm sure that will happen soon, right now I just want to have a solid foundation for when I do actually start writing my first draft. But that's another story...
