Indiosyncrasy

Over on Twitter (yes, it is still Twitter), I “met” another writer last year. Saffron Asteria, who is launching a website intended to support indie writers. It is called Indiosyncrasy.

Saffron has done a huge amount of work in the last few months to get the website up and running. Each author who has signed up has a page dedicated to their published work. Each week, a author is featured on the landing page with more information about their writing and themselves. She also posts a weekly podcast in which she talks about writing with the authors who have signed up. A weekly newsletter to subscribers.

She has much more in store. Writing exercises. Maybe writing competitions with prizes. At some point, she will also have sections for other professionals who contribute to publishing success — editors, cover artists, etc.

Check the website out. Saffron is doing a huge amount of work on the site and supports indie authors like nobody I’ve ever seen (except maybe for Berthold).

About the name. I was the youngest of four. Until I got to kindergarten, I didn't have much to say. All I had to do to get what I wanted was to point, and a sibling, or loving parent, would fulfill my request. As a result, my father coined the nickname -- King Midget. At least that's the way the story goes. I am a father, husband, friend, and lover, writer, runner, pizza maker, baker, and many other things. What I am not is my occupation. It is my job that pays the bills and provides for my family. But, it does not define me.

      Fun name.

      Can’t condone her use of twitter though. A fascist mouthpiece now.

        Well, it’s unfortunate. Some of us have built up networks of friends on Twitter and as long as those networks remain there, it’s a bit tough to leave Twitter.

    We are the sum of our pieces. We are not this, that or the other but a jigsaw puzzle created by the sum of our experiences. Not sure all my jigsaw pieces fit together, though.

    I’ve been following Indiosyncrasy since it started earlier this year. I haven’t had time to listen to many of the podcasts yet, but I’ve got it bookmarked. I think it’s a wonderful project.
