I live life to the fullest with what's at my disposal and I will continue to be a positive and benign being. If you study the lives of earlier writers such as Poe, Twain, etc., you find that they struggled to get accepted and to get paid a decent amount for their creative efforts. It remains the same today. One difference, however, is that there is more competition today. Yet, as difficult as it is, good writing will still be recognized and published by discerning editors.
Authors now have more areas to submit their writing.
Also, the internet has made writing and reading more accessible. I enjoy writing about my family and those I come in contact with during my day. I have published work both on paper and online. My passion is reading. My dream is to have my own work published in a nationally recognised publication.
