I’m a semi-retired writer from St Paul MN. I read somewhere that being a fiction writer is like being a professional baseball player. The very few, very best make the Majors (Best Sellers) and fly around in jets. Most of us never get past Class AAA, Class AA or Class A where you travel around in broken down buses. The thing is, you never know if you can hit a Major League curve unless you get in the game.
I’ve had a couple novels and some short stories published and did a couple books on my own. In other words, I never got much further than the low Class A of the Literary World. But hey, I gave it my shot. Now I’m writing more for myself than anything else. I’m still getting a couple stories a year published. Most of my work goes through the West Side St. Paul Writers Group for helpful editing for which I’m grateful. I’m writing better than ever and enjoying it more.
