Over the next two years, while balancing a full-time job and raising six children (and pretty much nothing else), I poured my heart and soul into building Dabble-an elegant tool specifically designed for novel writers.
Dabble in the great game software#
The fusion of my two passions, beautiful software and great stories. The tool I would want to use when I eventually came back to writing. So I decided, software it is!īut … why not create software now that can help me write later? Of course! I would build software for writing. It is more likely to fund my writing than my writing to fund the creation of my software business. If I had to choose one thing to finish anything, what was the right option? Hey, I've been doing software for years. Writing is hard! Creating a business is hard! Doing both at once in your spare time? Well, you know, live and learn. And eventually, I came to that same conclusion. Over the next few years, I tried both creating my own software business and writing a novel, both on the side. Writing turned into my second great passion, right after creating beautiful software. I devoured book after book on the writing process, plotting, editing, and dialogue. I could learn to write! That’s when I became bitten by the writing bug. Eventually decided to come back to writing. James shared his personal journey: took college writing classes, was told he would never be a writer by the teacher and had no writing talent. And what do you know? The introduction was titled Putting the Big Lie to Sleep and turned out to align with my theory. I started right away with Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell.
Maybe I could do the same with fiction.Ī few minutes later, I had five new books on writing on my Kindle. I could write it! I taught myself to write software. Where were the amazing reads? Is the world finished writing great stories? I had read (or tried to read) several books that fell flat. Dabble really started back on a fall day in 2010.
