Me and My Writing

by

9

It occurs to me recently that I havenā€™t provided much in the way of getting to know me and my writing. Of course, thereā€™s the ā€œAboutā€ section of the Blog (Thoughts, Musings, and Storytelling), but that boilerplate will only take you so far. So, without further ado, hereā€™s some things about Me and My Writing:

1) Who am I?

My name is Wallace W. Cass Jr., and I am a Sci-Fi Adventure Author who works a Day Job when heā€™s not publishing books on Amazon.com. I served seven years in the US Navy, worked in both State and Federal Government, and currently make my home in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I enjoy good friends, good food, and good times. Sometimes a little too much but I also put in my fair share of exercise time to keep the tonnage under control and to save me from being a target of U-Boats and marauding bands of environmentalists who often try to push me back into the water when Iā€™m at the Beach. šŸ˜‰

2) How long have I been writing?

My earliest memory of doing stories was making up fictional battle logs that I got the idea from reading old WWII books at the Age of 10. As I got older, I got into Music and learned to play a number of instruments like the French Horn, Trombone, Baritone Horn, and on to the Guitar, which I still pick up and strum every now and again. I used to write song lyrics and compose music, but when the Novel Bug hit me at Age 17, I knew that while I loved playing Music, Creative Writing was where it was at for me.

3) Have you been published?

Traditionally, no, but I tried to interest publishers and agents for a long time and have a nice collection of rejection slips to show for my effortsā€¦hehe. At the suggestion of a friend back in 2014, I explored the possibility of self-publishing on Amazon.com. I have never regretted that decision and though I am new to the field, I feel that I improve with each book I put out. Plus, itā€™s fun.

4) Where can I find your books?

My official website is at http://www.wwcassjr.com

I have an Amazon Author Central Page at http://www.amazon.com/author/wwcassjr. There you can find the latest information about current releases and sign up for notifications when my next book will come out.

Iā€™m also on Goodreads at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/10492009.W_W_Cass_Jr_

6) What are your Writing Goals?

My goals are what theyā€™ve always been and thatā€™s to write quality stories that I am proud to read and share with the world at large. I would rather deal with the slings and arrows of putting myself out there than feel the regret of not having done what I love most.

This is obviously not a complete list, but I think itā€™s enough to get an idea of who I am and what I do. Please feel free to check out me and my work.

7) Do you have any unusual quirks that you would like to share?

Yes, but only one for now. Every New Yearā€™s Day, I like to pick a personal motto that will sum up the year to come. In 2015, my motto is ā€œEver Forwardā€. 2014ā€™s was ā€œGravity is Oppressiveā€, but that one neither inspired nor motivated meā€¦hehe.

8) Do you plan on doing this again?

Probably, but this is the first time Iā€™ve put out so much information at one time so I want to see what effect it will have. It really depends on the response I get.

9) Wrap Up?

Well, thatā€™s it for this article and I want to thank you for reading and following. Have a great day. šŸ™‚
