The only consistent thing in my life has been my love of writing. I allowed life to get in the way and did not succeed in developing this passion much. A few flash fiction stories, some articles for professional organizations, but tons of poetry, articles, short fiction and parts of novels that I wrote but never had the time to do anything with. The Writer’s Digest book was a good enough tool. Today though, there is so much on the internet that it is challenging to sort through the BS, the people making money by tossing up writer’s websites, the fly by night sites and so forth that I wonder if I have the patience to stick it out long enough to find markets for my words.
