Wow, Anthony you just dont know what reading your comment did for my day Not only do I not write as a career choice, I dont have a career at all!!! I was told over and over in my younger days that that is what i should do( by both laymen and teachers in the semesters I started school twice! ) One of them actually passed me for what she read in the 3 papers I turned in all semester! lmao If I only knew then what I know now!
So now I sit here at 42 feeling completely worthless and you tell me that after 20 years of not being in school I still may have an underlying talent! Now what to do with that?! I cannot say thank you with enough enthusiasm with words!!!!
One day a lady that I was hoping to rent a house from told me that my credit score was good enough to buy a house, guess what 6 months later I sit in my own home.
I think Anthony made a good point I read your writing and its good you could make something from that so take advantage of your skill, its how i make a living I use my artistic side to paint homes and property's and create works of art by patching and matching existing walls with dry wall, acoustic, textures even stucco that's what I am good at so that's what I do for a living.
Do some research talk to people who write for a living even and find out what you need to do to possible make a career out of writing, and good luck.
There are two things that make me give this a fair shot: I have been praying really hard for God to show me where in society I belong and I wasnt even trying! In a span of a week, I (by complete accident,ie "gods work" for those of us who believe) came across some back and forth banter about how lazy we as a society have become when we write. I replied and set forth a long conversation that I really enjoyed. It truly got me to thinking how lazy I had become. Now I do try to go back and correct my run ons, ....'s, and all that jazz.
Putting this all in the prospective for n/a rooms, maybe this is a good lesson is letting go and letting God? If I just get out his way long enough and really listen he will always come through! Not always in the way that we think. (I was looking into going back to school for accounting) If we allow him to work through us, things become more clear.
Thanks again guys! As you read, I could really use a bright side of the rainbow to strive toward Im having such trouble picking a problem and working it all the way through. My brain keeps bouncing back and forth. Then nothing ever gets solved! thank you all for taking the time to read my long long posts. Sometimes, I sit down to write and cant stop!
ps. how exactly do I go about talking to people who write for a living? Just head down to the newspaper? I havent worked anything to speak of in more than 15 years! Im clueless.
