Official Comment Made to GM Davies on Dubov Game...
Hi....
So...
What Else Do you Gain?
I've actually reread bits of my novel today...
I mean it's just my view, but by the age of like around 20 I think I would be GM writer... my novel is really good and remember I was 19, 20 when I was writing it. I'm 40 now.
So I didn't make a lot of money writing it...
But what else did I gain?
All the ability to write a novel. The joy of writing it. Already it was based on nearly a lifetime of playing. And the joy of reading it.
Then learning how to sell it.
This is around the time in many people's lives when they are just going out getting drunk...
So I think whenever you do something, for example a job, it's important to see what ELSE you gain as well as the money.
When I'm stewarding I get some physical exercise and it's a nice atmosphere.
No job should EVER just be about the money... life is about doing what you want as much as possible...
Thanks to the Long Term Readers...
Yeah...
So this is for my long term readers...
Because some people might think... oh he only started writing in 2009? Or like he was doing his novel in 2004?
Nah man... been writing way before that...
It's nice all these people from all around the world are reading me now... and yeah I need to spend some time getting some ADS up or something...
But this is a thanks to all the writers/readers who've either read me for a long time OR have donated etc...
Because I couldn't be as good without u...
I really don't do this much at all.. but I think Kevin is about 72 now... he's had a link on my site for years because he deserves it... one of only 2 people atm... GM Kosteniuk gave me a free DVD ;)
So yeah going to do it because just shows what a kind of man he is
So you have got one of the best chessplayers IN THE WORLD in the 80s and GREAT writer saying SORRY for being a bit slow to respond...
These are the kind of readers I really appreicate... he even featured one of my articles on his site...
More to come...
Charles Bukowski spent years of his life working at the US @RoyalMail
Mark Howitt and the Mystical Journey
Mark Howitt, the modern day George Orwell, was puzzled.
2 billion dollar man Chris Bailey, whose first name means male bearer of Christ, had told him to write more.
But why had the multi millionaire not made a donation he thought?
It was very curious.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Mark Howitt laid in his bed and kept typing.
He laughed at the world.
If Chris Bailey would make a nice donation he could buy some nice food. But the male bearer of Christ hadn't.
Mark Howitt still has money though...
Wordup...
And it's 2024...
Surreal...
Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...
So I saw we had over 2,500 VIEWS FROM USA ALONE OVER 7 days...

Obvs I am a British writer. I live in Britain. But I kinda get why the Hyundai garage was having sleepless nights about my review more now...
This blog gets views from ALL OVER THE WORLD...
Like do u think I have ever BEEN to SINGAPORE before... lols no way man... although I know a bit about it... how it was ruled by the British...
Tens of thousands of views from Singapore...
It's hard to know the worldwide impact I can have... but it's there...
