From my perspective, a lax senior, whose no one to nobody. This is a lengthy dialog, seems to spend too many words of 'this and that'. Doing something always has its own rewards. Subject one. Doing something well, an opinion. Subject two. Conclusion not clear. Subject three.

I don't expect to make money, don't need to make money, and that seems to be the object of too many writers. Early in the last century I sent Amazon some novellas, I sold some. Most in England and Australia. As a U.S. citizen I was baffled. I gave up sending anything I wrote to anyone, but I did pay two editors to edit two 130K books. I got back revisions to grammar, nothing constructive to structure.

I was discouraged by a review. However I continued writing because I enjoy writing. The chance of my being published again aren't high. They'd be less if I didn't write, and even less likely if I didn't try to improve. I learn so much by writing. I meet some lovely people and read great books. Happy writing.
