About me.


I'm Liron, an indie author. Born in the early seventies, I've endured living on this planet for uncountable long seconds, just to get to this point in time. A point when the future seems realistic, when personal dreams can come true. Not landing on the moon, just landing in someone's heart and mind, with no barriers. And yes, doing our thing, art, writing, taking pics, and make a living out of it?

Hell, yeah!

I write for a living. It's my profession, though I don't write English. Not my mother tongue. Not my country's prime language. I write commercials, websites, all kinds of business shit. It pays the bills. Three kids will get you some heavy bills, you should know. Some of you already know.

I'm a literary editor. I love that work, as it helps other authors improve, overcome barriers, and produce some magnificent books. I also teach advanced writing techniques, and I do it online, using Zoom.

I had a dog once. Her name was Bambi, and she was the love of my life and my wife. She used to bark all day, when we were away, adding extra volume when she heard our car getting nearer. I miss her. Very much.

I love sports. I fenced, I played squash. I love the competition, the one on one thrill. It's a great thing. I love it even better when the score is tied.

Most of all, I love to write. To create a brand-new world, where everything can happen – and usually does. I translate my books and publish them on Amazon. I used to be exclusive there, but now Steemit changed the equation. I'll be publishing them here, too. Hope You'll like them.

Tomorrow, a new chapter.

Welcome to Steemit!

I can relate to your dog story.. Mine passed away about a year ago, and I still haven't been able to let go of him fully. That's the downside of pets :-(

Anyways, great introduction! Looking forward to read more from you. Followed. Feel free to follow me as well. A bigger audience is alway motivating :-)

Followed, of course. And I've just posted another installment.
Thjaks!

Man, I do understand about the kids! Puts a little kink in the life of an artist but it’s worth it in the end... or so I’m told 😝 Welcome to Steemit! Will you be focusing on your writing or giving tips and tutorials? I’m always open to learning

Kids are THE REASON. That's what they are, that's what WE were.

I'll be focusing on the writing, because my tutorials are in Hebrew. I have a mildly successful online creative writing course, but hell, I can't do it in English. Perhaps in Klingon...

Hi Liron... Nice to meet you... Welcome to Steemit..🌹.. This is a nice intro post... I hope you will do great over here as a steemian..😊.. Follow Me @onority

Just the king of my, hmm, domain.
Thanks :)

Welcome to Steemit, Liron. Loved your introduction post, quite straightforward and it said a lot about you. Keep writing and sharing. I will look forward to seeing more from you. Steem On!

Thanks, Big Gun :)
I'll be writing more. Like it here.

You are most welcome. Big Gun!! That's new. ;) Keep up the good work.

Hello, King Lir, and Welcome to Steemit.

It's good to see another writer / editor on Steemit. I hope to read some interesting posts (even if they are translations. In this post, your written English is par excellence, so rest assured you will find an avid readership).

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Thank you :)
For me, writing in English is like walking on stilts. I can do it, but I will never feel safe, and I will never be able to run. But I'll try, I'll try.

As for longer posts - so far the intallments of my book haven't drawn that much attention. I hope it will change in the future...

For the past few months, I've been uploading posts of my Vocabulary Learner's guide / resource. So far, those posts have drawn very little attention. But I just kept at it, and keep on posting. Recently, they are gaining a bit more attention, and slightly more rewards.

This is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme, nor a "get-famous-quick" scheme. It's a place where diligence and effort pay off. It will probably pay off better than any other initiative you've been involved in, but it will take time.

This community will not hand you any undeserved success, but it will support you as you strive for success.

I hope it will change in the future for you. But meanwhile, I recommend you do what you can to "change the future" yourself!! Good luck.

p.s. The price of Steem and the price of Steem Dollars have more than doubled recently. That should give you a bit more motivation to keep working at it.
