Follow your passion and write, write, write. However, don't present your work publicly until you let it simmer for a while--especially if you've written out of passion. Sometimes writing is a method of venting and not all your emotions should or need to be made public. These days, once your thoughts, opinions, and words are "out there," there is no retrieving them.

Following over 25 years of working professionally with dog behavior, it became obvious that the most rejected and overlooked dogs in shelters and rescues were the fearful, shy, timid dogs, especially if their discomfort escalated into fear aggression. In order to help save the most commonly euthanized dogs, I decided to specialize in the behavior modification of them. I found that when treated properly and provided safe environments, these dogs were willing to give humans another chance and were the most devoted to the person who gave them a chance in return.
