Hi Deana, I tried writing a novel, finished one, and it would rank as one of the worst books ever written… then I moved to nonfiction and that decision has kept me fed as a writer for a number of decades. I write poetry to keep me sane but I make a few bottles of wine a month equivalent from Medium so I am not giving up my day gig just yet. If you love writing, and make it doing tech manuals, ad copy, non profit marketing or anything else the average human might not recognize as needing skilled writers to to, then keep doing it and celebrate as I do with a glass and writing a few poems. Thank you for the read and comment as always.
