Writing is a hard and fulfilling job.

Many people in different places believe writing is a nothing to do thing.

To some it may well be.

But to millions of people like me who write and work at it every day is a work of art.

For a disable person such as myself writing keeps me working.

Writing keeps my mind active and happy which makes for a great medium from depression and loneliness.

I really marvel at a lot of people who turn their noses up and laugh at people like me who write.

Writing comes in some many different forms and no two people are alike in their art.

Writing is my own oasis.

As for being published in the world of writing it takes more to actually be published and make good money.

Most people think when you have published something you should be rich.

These people know nothing about the publishing business and should not even go there without looking into it more closely.

Myself I have done much publishing of my works alone.

Many cost me nothing as my work is well liked in many circles of the business.

Of course I have made very little as well in Royalties as well.

I was approached several times by Lucille Ball’s publisher “Dorrance Publishing”.

I was found by them in the Library of Congress where I had filed my copyrights and, each time I filed a new works they were e-mailing me and calling me and so on and so forth.

But to get signed up with them you had to be ready to really put out an expense that many people like you and I cannot afford.

In fact if we could have we would have been a Best Seller tomorrow with our works .Mine alone would have maybe paid off and maybe not.

Writing is a hard job, but to get into the publishing business is much harder on just your credentials only.

I told one publisher if I had the money they wanted to publish me with I would not be seeking their money but watch mine and invest it more wisely.

Many writers live a poor but good life.

Writing makes the world go around for us in writing.

A bad review is sometimes a good review and should not deter anyone from writing on with their works.

You will find criticism everywhere.

You will also find people who will threaten you as well thinking your work means nothing for anyone anywhere as well.

Writing has changed from the “Dark Ages” and well it should have long ago.

In taking my Poet Laureate classes I found that the “Greats” would write Poetry and stories and then you had to place yourself in their minds eye and see all that they saw when they wrote something and it had to be correct or you were wrong and knew nothing about the arts.

Today it is more a free thing for a writer to write what ever takes their fancy at the moment.

I would not like everyone to see and view my Poetry as the same reading, but to expand and see and hear and feel what they wish to see , feel ,and hear ,

That is why I write in so many different ways to get all my works that I enjoy writing out there as there is a market for my works and it makes me feel great when I have succeeded at my works in one way or another. Many people write and tell me they like my works and wish more of it and I keep right on writing and give my one hundred percent to my works so they may enjoy or grasp something that works with their life no matter if it is heartache, sorrow, death, life, love or pleasure.

Rich is not always where life is about.

Yes money is good, but so is the Love of the Arts and making it sometimes poor and doing a good thing.

To many, yes I am poor, but to myself I am rich in my own soul and laugh many do, but only a fool laughs at nothing they know or cannot understand.

So write on everyone and seek your own pleasures and never let anyone put you down for being a person whom works and thinks and writes every day.

We are the rich one’s at heart
