I'm a freelance writer who is just starting to take myself seriously. I have tons of stuff written -- jammed in various computers I have had laying around over the past 10 years. Who knows if any of the stuff can even be opened in some readable format. But, nonetheless, here I am. I look forward to reading your posts. Hello!

However, I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I do write for my own pleasure but I also hope to "enlighten" others to the volumes of history locked up in the lives of our senior citizens. I feel as if I don't write their stories down, they may be lost forever. What a tragedy! There is a Senior Citizen community in my hometown that mostly houses retired missionaries and others who have spent their lives in ministry. I could just sit and listen to them all day long and you know what? They are so willing to share them that I could make a compilation of short stories that would fill a library and still never run out of material. Do I think I could make $ with this, maybe? But more than anything I want to tell their stories and it seems to me magazines or local publications would be exactly the type of venue to do that in. Keep the blogs coming... John,

I need to remember the "it's all about the editor" advice even if I eventually manage to earn a writerly living in a way that makes me want to wake up in the morning and start another workday. The Lord uses editors and clients and especially "editor-clients" to attain a far worthier goal: Christ-likeness. The kind of attitude you're advising writers to have seems aimed at this goal as well as the goal of getting in print. Thanks again!
