Indie writer conundrum...
"If you're a freelance writer and aren't used to being ignored, neglected, and generally given short shrift, you must not have been in the business very long." -- Poppy Z. Brite
Coleridge was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was killed by a man whom he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's name out of a satire then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest.
Do you still want to be a writer - and if so, why?

Yeah! Still want to write because it's an addiction. What else would I do at pre-dawn? Which reminds me (it is past dawn now) My Vietnam War memoir, Goodbye Junie Moon is free on Amazon today. Why don't you download a copy Massimo and read it when you have time. I'd love a comment. June

I found a good answer which fits with me, June: "There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you." -- Z.N. HurstonI will certainly get a copy of your memoir, June. I had you in mind already from a previous visit time ago, so I am particularly glad you passed by today. Thanks.
