It's true. I am a one-finger novelist. I was also a one-finger publisher, editor, writer, columnist and newspaper reporter. At one point in my early career I was even a one-finger typesetter … until my narrow-minded new boss looked over my shoulder and asked, "What the hell are ya doing?"
I said, "Typesetting, sir."
He said, "With one-finger?"
I said, "Actually, I use two. One finger on each hand."
He said, "You can't do that."
I said, "But I can. And I average over fifty-five words a minute, sir."
He shook his head. "I can't have one of my typesetters using only one finger."
"Two, sir," I said.
He got hot enough to steam a locomotive. "I'll give you two!" he said. "Two minutes to get the hell outta here."
Well, I took my one finger (okay, two) and continued to hunt and peck for more than thirty years in the publishing field until I became the literary phenomenon you see before you.
So today, feel free to browse my site and perhaps purchase one or more of my books.
That's all for now. Take care. I hope you enjoy your visit and come back again.
Your One Finger Novelist,
Ned
