Finding this site
Actually a friend recommended on her blog that everyone join this site. She's a good writer and I follow her blog. She writers, she plays nearly every instrument, sings, composes and works (teaching.) She's a genius, good inspiration and I'm old enough to be her mother. She posts some of her Water Cooler entries on her blog.
I was determined to be a writer since the age of five. I finally published a book of flash fiction which sold out (all 100 copies--it had a great cover.) And then a poetry book that didn't sell. I started giving copies away as birthday and Christmas gifts. It was hard work marketing. Didn't like it. Book signings a disappointment.
I was in a great writers organization for years and even served on the board for awhile. I met a bunch of really good and professional writers which I'd always wanted to do. Meeting writers was like some people want to meet movie stars or athletes. The org. gave me a great education in writing, got me into a close group of friends, taught me to talk and participate in big meetings.
I've written 3 novels but never finished them. Once I hit retirement age I realized I'd never break into the publishing field. Gave up on the rewriting and submitting.
I write for enjoyment. And sanity. I do two blogs, am active on some online groups, and facebook.
There is no writing "job" that is too small.
