It is good to read the reality of writing for a change. It is my daily grind, and I love it and sometimes it drives me nuts. My friends think I am nuts. They don't say it, (well some do) but they give me pitying looks.

But, it's what I've always aimed for, so I won't give up. Congratulations to you on your perseverance and success, it is hard earned, but the most satisfying for sure.
