I can't teach you to write, if that's what you mean. I sincerely believe it's a talent. Nor can I teach you how to get noticed. I never wanted to be noticed. I don't care about being noticed. And I write whether I get paid or not. I never set out to have a career. I have never wanted a career.

I write for a combination of reasons. 1. It is my way of talking to people. 2. I write because it's impossible for me to stop. The stuff just keeps pouring out of me. 3. I write because I have to earn, and even though I earn very little, it's something with which to survive. 4. I write what I believe to be truth, and I have no interest in flattering other people in order to get readers.

So, now you know as much as I can tell you - unless there is something I haven't covered. :)
