I too wish I could write for a living. I went to "The HIghschool for the Creative and Performing Arts" and my major was creative writing.

Yep, haven't done anything with it. I tell myself it's because I don't have the time. I work fulltime, bring the work home with me, and have children. I think that if we could live off of one salary, I wouldn't work and would write during the time that I would normally do an outside job.......but that's just not how it is.

I have about 10 different outlines for fantasy/science fiction stories; about 10 different outlines for romance stories; and about 6 "short stories" that I would like to continue making more "short stories" and compile them into one book.

I'd be happy with a hands on job working at Victoria's Secret as an apparel fitter.--

I also wish to publish my writing...but my writing has been on the back burner as I assist Mr. P in making his dream come true..my novel was near finisihed when he brainstormed his business idea & we rolled with it. No turning back now & no time to write...

I used to write 5 hours a day..while the kids were at school and he at work. I was a stay at home mom and love to write, and found inspiration enough to write a book. Now, running the business and taking care of my home and family leave me juuuuuuuust enough time for city data!

things are starting to pan out real nice with our new business, so I see time for writing freeing up for me soon. I always keep up my research and notes on my book, and I know when I sit down to finish those last few chapters..it will really be focused & from the heart, and I hope, well recieved.

My status for a few weeks was "spinning those tunes". That's it. Play tunes, my choice. All categories. Well, most categories. LOTS of Moody Blues songs.
