As some of you may know: I have been working diligently for the last twelve months trying to secure my self a place in the literary info structure. I can tell you all that it has been a trying sequence of events. Yet despite the controversy, the doubt, the set backs, and the financial difficulties, I can still say that it is all worth it. No, I am not holding the bended pages of my manuscript in completed book form yet, and though I still have ways to go in the promotion process, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. That light makes me want to pull forward. So, I am still pressing along.
Though I must tell you all, that my last set back nearly caused someone their life. You see; I am self publishing my first book. Partly because it just made sense, but only after going through the disappointing process of searching for a publisher and literary agent. Problem with being a first time novelist in this day and age is that people are scared to take a chance on unknowns, and I am fairly unknown, even now amongst the many talented faces of my fellow twitters and blogger’s. Rafael Solece is one name among a thousand. Several random thoughts, intertwined in a web of many. But My ultimate goal is to stitch out a place for me in the grand scheme of things.
It may have taken me a year to finish and perfect my first project, but I am quite sure that I have found my calling. I am quite sure that I have mastered the art of innovation, I think, no: I am positive that 2010 will prove to be the year of Rafael Solece
