About

Hi.  My name is Scott Couchman.  I would like to be a novelist!  By this, I don’t mean I am writing a novel, or I’ve written one, I just don’t have an agent or publisher yet.  I mean, I can walk into Borders or Vromans and see my book on the shelf.  I can secretly rearrange the face outs of the books, so my book gets face time.  I can put my book on my shelf and be impressed with that big publishing house’s logo for it on the spine.

Then I can do it all again with the next book.

Currently, I have written a pair of books to completion, and while at first I thought it was the most horrible bit of prose to hit a page, a couple of years later, I look at the first novel and think, this isn’t so bad.  With some heavy rewriting, I may get somewhere with it.  It is definitely better than some of the crap I’ve read.

So now, I am on the path to rebuilding that novel and shopping it out to agents. I figured I would track my progress to my invisible masses of fans with this public diary.  To keep in the habit of writing little bits, I’m not limiting the site to just my writing journeys, because there are times I want to just scream to the world about this and that or tell about this great link or program I found, etc.

So I hope you enjoy the blog, and when it comes out, I hope you’ll buy my book!

Sincerely,

Scott F. Couchman
