Fifty years ago I dreamed of being a writer. I clung to that dream for two decades before coming to the abrupt realization that, truth be told, I was not ever going to be a writer.
Eleven years ago, I started writing my four blogs, because those stories were burning to be told, and through blogging I could publish them without having to be a commercial success. Basically, they are the autobiography of someone that nobody has heard of.
A couple of weeks ago, I listened to a book about self-discipline, and an unexpected by-product was the abrupt realization that, truth be told, maybe I could be a writer. I signed up for access to firstwriter.com, and Carmen gave me their Writers' Handbook for Christmas. The result: today I submitted a story to Please See Me magazine's writing contest. More submissions to more publishers to follow.
Stay tuned for updates!

good for you!! writing is writing, and writing for a blog is a wonderfully creative and personal way to tell your stories. good luck on the piece you submitted, but either way, you're already a writer, so win/win ;)
Thanks.
