    I confess, a long long long time ago, I had a book published---no I won't say what it was. Have others undone around here. Friend helped with the proofreading. It was fun. Kids and life sort of got in the way and friend ran into major health problems, and I got older and don't have the patience for it.

    Aw! But that's so cool JJ!! :?:

    I really enjoyed my writing classes in college. I got a Big Time "A" in that class.

    Many people a great at story telling, organizing how to lay it down in chapters, etc., but need help with grammar and spelling, and a few suggestions here and there. I love being part of any creative process.

    Some of the best fiction stories are based in fact... based on the lives of people the author knows. That's what makes them so good... they are mostly true. :)

    Putting the story together is a challenge and the most fun. I was lousy at grammar :facepalm: :blush: but my friend was very good at it.

    It was but didn't sell all that many. There's a lot of competition out there! E books and being able to do it online makes it a lot easier. Even got one I could redo on the computer but it just seems like a lot of work!!

    I'm sure it is a lot of time consuming work :)

    Oh, I was swinging by to say goodnight, sleep well when you go VG & JJ :wub:

    You saved a lot of money with your friend's help! I'd do that for you. :)

    The one I got here is a historical romance. If I could even find the darn thing. As stated: pretty much lost the interest and the patience. I think a lot of that was when friend couldn't work on them with me anymore.
