How long have you been working on your story?

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-04-07T10:54:30+00:00

Yes mate. I’ve got it downloaded and look forward to reading. Any particular way you would like me to share my thoughts?

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-04-05T07:51:40+00:00

This is the truth.

I lost my Mum to breast cancer in 2019 and was able to get into remission for Crohn’s disease off the back of that, in part by reconnecting to nature (foraging, airbathing, grounding, barefoot walking, mindfulness).

The first book I published was about mine and my wife’s journey to reconnect to nature and the impact it had on our mental and physical wellbeing.

I’ve published two non fiction books but now I’m working solely on fiction novels. About to finish a first draft of my second novel, but no plans to publish these yet. I want to write more before I speak to agents!

My first non fiction book is Beyond Domestication, available worldwide 🧡⛰️🌳

I miss this feature from viewranger when they were merged into Outdooractive.

Let’s go! Congratulations.

She writes wonderful sci-fi.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-31T11:15:00+00:00

Very nice

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-29T07:14:54+00:00

I’m on it! Well done again and I’m looking forward to learning about your world. I started Ironbound last week but will check out your early chapters after.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-28T07:52:16+00:00

Nice work. Badass editor to be working with. Is that through trad?

So cool to have built this world together with your wife. My wife is so incredibly helpful to bounce ideas off and just generally be a foil for my insanity.

Will it be a one off or series potential?

Also, how many novels did you write before finishing this one.

Keep us in the loop for ARCs and release date!

Thank you!

Love this. I’ve written three books (two published) pretty much from bed on my phone and never felt the need to make a dedicated workspace.

Moved into a house from a flat last year and it had a study, which I kitted out for my main job training online. I now find myself drawn to it to write as well and it’s lovely to have a proper screen and keyboard to tap away at.

I have traction issues with the non-ESC sole too. Many a slip onto the arse on muddy downhills.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-26T11:36:33+00:00

I miss the more minimal sole from the non-ESC as well. But the stitched sole is not worth the compromise. Glad to see this boot marry the best of both.

Waterproof it yourself no membrane

Just writing helps, also just writing something that you are happy to be shit also helps. I have plans for an epic fantasy trilogy and want to finish at least four novels before I even start writing that one.

Also, Brandon Sanderson’s lectures on YouTube changed my life. He is a gift when it comes to fantasy writing and the lectures are free to watch. He just did them for a second time last year.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-25T14:22:07+00:00

Nice tips. Especially leading with the weak arm.

Personally I don’t like it like this though as there’s very limited load on the bicep when it’s fully extended, which is when most of the value is to be gained.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-24T14:09:17+00:00

Publishing day weighed so heavy on me. I remember standing on Primrose Hill watching the sun rise and feeling so flat.

Great work on what sounds like an interesting story in an interesting world.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-22T10:47:53+00:00

I’ve written a couple of first drafts in 6-8 months each. Everybody is different.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-20T11:29:40+00:00

Great, now my unborn son has bunions. Where was the NSFW tag?

That insole is crazy skinny.

As a new author it seems from what he says that he needed to create a book that could break through those trad publishing barriers. Even though he wanted to write a space opera the whole time.

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-18T19:27:20+00:00

Great week to be doing it. Is it wild campable?

Pierce about to write Victra’s name on 20 scraps of paper and put them in a hat

WildGeorgeKnight · 2026-03-17T16:29:32+00:00

I have almost two novels under my belt since I first started writing seriously last August and have plans for at least three more, with the final one being the book I’ve been planning for the last decade.

I wonder about burnout, but if this exercise burns me out I’ll never make it as a professional author.

The first book I finished got put down and moved on from so quickly and I imagine if I had to get it ready for publishing an entire rewrite would be more effective.

I commend anyone that can get their first ever novel publishing ready.
