I used to like writing stories and sending them for publication!. Had about 1 in 10 accepted, and thought - Hey, I could be a writer!.

But over time, 'reality' dawned and I found the world of creative writing not the idealistic thing that fiction writers dream about!. That led to a career in feature writing - journalistic writing - before stagnation struck!.

Now I work in a different line, in a totally different industry!. Some day, I'll learn to like it for the food it puts on the table!. Cynical, but true!. (Reality bites; life moves on!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

For about 5 years when I was younger (quite a while ago), I loved turtles like nothing else!. Now, I don't really care!. My mother still randomly brings me little turtle trinkets back from their vacations!.!.!. It's a habit with her that she can't break!. I don't have the heart to tell her to stop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My advice to you is be your own person, don,t do anything you really don,t like or want to do!. No one can make you do anything!. What ever you do let it be what you want to do!. Be blessedWww@QuestionHome@Com
