If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
I have a job. My gift is not enormous, but I try and nurture it. A little gravy is better than a lot of the stuff, because then it´s easier to do without, especially since I haven´t really factored gravy into my diet. I write to be read. If I touch someone, I´m happy.
Sorry not to have replied before – must be a glitch in the system (or me). Writing to be read strikes a chord with me as I’m sure it must do with many other writers.
Love mblobs comment, I have always written about things I feel passionate about and was lucky enough to sell some if it. . Now write all the time for nothing but when I get ‘hits I guess I’ve touched someone and I am happy too.
I think luck can play a part in this as you hint at Ann. I often feel that writers & actors have a lot in common – talent, ability & an inner emotional truth won’t necessarily win through in commercial terms unless you also happen to be in the right place at the right time/have the right look or subject for that season…but writers still need readers just as actors need an audience…
A lot of gravy will never be on my plate, Ann, and the little I may indulge in is quickly digested. The touch, though, lingers, as you also know. Thanks for your comment.
