A dream of mine since childhood has been writing and getting published. I have no idea why I want to do this. I saw a quote on Google’s home page that says “I can't understand why a person will take a year to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars" (Fred Allen). Very funny. Hoo hah! I'm falling off my chair.
To date, this is my writing resume’:
· A poem (published in the now-defunct teenage magazine Ingenue at age 16)
· A reader-feature (published in Playgirl (blush) at age 56 or so). I SWEAR I am not/was not a regular connoisseur of Playgirl. I only read the articles. Well actually I read in Writer’s Market that adult magazines pay pretty well. I believed that until I got a contract for my feature for $50.00. I guess you had to write a longer article.
· A novel (uh oh…not done/not published).
At this rate I’ll be uh, quite OLD when my novel hits the shelves. That doesn’t leave a lot of time to rack in the royalties (yes I know I’m being wildly optimistic on the odds of getting a book published at all).
Time to get to work!
