I’ve recently been researching a British army officer of the late Victorian to early Edwardian period. His name was William Augustus Adam, of Irish descent and quite an intellect as well as a wielder of sabres. He was a prolific linguist, speaking nine languages, and even produced a primer on how to learn Japanese in 6 months. He was also a poet and something of a philosopher. Here are some thoughts he shared about writing:
“A disappointed author makes the best critic.”
“I fear I shall always be rather a fashioner of literary bricks than a builder of literary houses.”
This month marks the 4th birthday of MuseItUp Publishing and there are special offers available on a number of e-books, including my own The Baronet's Daughter.
