My name is Simon, I’m 35 years old and I come from Poland.
I apologize for all mistakes I’ll surely make below. I hope despite them, it will be bearable for You.


I realize it is a bit late, but it is my Dream to become a writer and to be able to live from writing – from offering my Ideas and Words to Other-Selves.

During my studies (economy), I had a couple of years period when I was writing “scientific thesis” (for other students) for money. I was pretty good at it, but my studies came to an end, and I began working in “regular company”. For years now, I work in a company that offer products and services for the industry and … I simply do not like my job (it “drains me” significantly). With my “market-skill-set”, I can only get job as a salesman and for me personally, it is quite “empty activity” (thing-oriented – no place/space for “Ideas”). In fact, I cannot “find myself” in any jobs that are available on the market and in time I realized that writing is something that permits me to “fulfill Self” in ways I didn’t knew before were possible.

Currently, I’m writing short stories and I plan to write my first book in the near future, but I need more training before I do that.

Due to my past (writing scientific thesis), at the very beginning my stories were crude and they were more like “instructions” than actual “Stories” (they were/are quite funny because of that, but hard to read for People who are used to smooth, mature Writers).


Lately I had quite big doubts regarding this entire idea of writing and I felt that I’ve meet a dead-end – and than I’ve found a book of my favourite writer, Mr. Stephen King, titled: “On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft”. I’m still reading it, but I have to write, that it is SO helpful for me. I’ve never attended to any “writers clubs” or courses (I don’t even know if there are any in my city) but I’ve read a lot and I’m pretty good with words (in my native language anyway ;) ). Therefore this Book is the first Source of actual, valuable and clearly understood by me advices/suggestions/ideas. It brought me back to writing and that alone is very important for me.

Biggest problem for me in writing is creating “believable” characters. I’m a loner and I do not have rich social life, therefore I often do not know how characters may/would react or sometimes even talk to each other. It may sound silly, but this is my greatest worry – to create characters with whom Reader may identify Self with. I’m not “good with People” (as to initiate, develop and sustain relations) and I’m afraid it may be very significant obstacle in my “writing venture”.


What am I writing about?

I love Sci-Fi with action in Space/Universe. I’ve wrote stories about corporations exploring the Moon and deep space. I plan to write a book about “alien civilization” that arrives to our Universe form parallel one and is studying Human Race in their search of their Origins.

I also have very specific understanding of “Beingness” – I understand every-One as a non-material, immortal Beings, that are currently experiencing Self as “material Creatures” within Our material reality (Creaturehood). The Consciousness itself is Our “gateway” to the “greater reality” and it was a choice of each and every-One of Us to “be here” and live Our lives, in this three-dimensional reality (choice made before this/current existence).

I would like to offer this understanding in my stories/books to Other-Selves in “digestible fashion”, because I think such point-of view is simply Fascinating.

I also would like to write about regular People that are excluded from the “mainstream societal lives” – older, poor/homeless People. To bring Focus of Other-Selves to such People and Their situations – to induce/awaken within Other-Selves sensitivity and understanding which would change (hopefully) ways Other-Selves are perceiving such People – and ultimately – the ways they are treated (i.e. ignored, disrespected, etc.).

***

Ending my post, I would like to Thank Mr. Stephen King for His Work and all Ideas/Words He offered Us. I really Appreciate It.
