Rolling the dice

Since I was fifteen years old, the only thing that I have wanted to be was a writer. I finished writing my first novel in August of 2001, when I was twenty-six years old, after many false starts and failed attempts. I have lost the manuscript of that novel since then, but I have kept on, writing three more novels.
A few months ago, I got tired of writing novels and not getting them published. I decided that if no publisher would take a chance on me and publish one of my novels, that I had to DIY (Do-It-Yourself). In little more than a month, in August of this year, my debut novel, In the Middle, will be published by Createspace.com (owned by Amazon.com) in both paperback and Kindle editions.
I also have another novel almost ready to be published, Honky Tonk Women and I plan on publishing it six months later, in February, 2014. And I currently writing the first draft of a novel that I hope to publish next year, in August of 2014.
In two years, I hope to have four or five novels published and will finally be able to support myself with my writing, to become a full time writer.
I'm rolling the dice, betting that I have the talent to become a successful writer.
