Hello!

 Hi! Quick intro. My name is Glenn, but you can call me Tall Mister Hall if you like.

I was a TV junkie as a kid, but a lot of it was PBS, and one of the earliest shows I remember was called "The Write Channel," featuring a cricket news reporter who would cover strange stories (the one I vividly recall was a kid who blew a gigantic gum bubble, which then popped and covered the kid in chewed gum. It was weird, but as a bubble-blower very relatable. And I think that was the official beginning of my calling to write. Besides, growing up with significantly older sisters, I didn't get many chances to speak anyway.

I already have a personal blog elsewhere, but when the inspiration strikes, then grows cold, I find a need to write about my writing, and takes up more and more space lately, so I decided to start this blog specifically for the process of writing my books, and the other processes that go along with it. I often take photo tours to see places where my characters might go, or at least talk about, and I usually curate a collection of songs that help me find the emotional tone I want for a scene, even if I can't write that scene right away. So, readers will likely find all sorts of other media in this blog as well. I suppose there might even be a few spoilers, if I slip up here or there. Who knows? Most of the writing I'll be doing for the foreseeable future has been at least the seed of an idea for years now, even decades, but in many ways, the novel I'm working on is essentially just the hint of an outline. So, aside from those early sparks of inspiration, readers of this blog will get to see built from the foundation up.

I firmly believe that everyone has at least one book inside. If you need help to get yours out, please read on, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I've self-published three now, and a preview chapter from the current book, so while I can't help much with finding an editor or publisher, I might have some tips that will get you to that phase.
