Judging from your writing skills here I imagine that with hard work that you will indeed find yourself being published.

Re: Rockingrector_retd
Yes, they certainly are trite and often are put-downs and very silly.Thanks for the good wishes.

I wish you the best of luck. Aren't some of those old autograph thingys trite? And such put-downs!

That's good. It won't happen if you don't try it.

About clever...a quote from the movie "This Is Spinal Tap":
David St. Hubbins:(imagine mild Cockney accent): "It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever".
But often "stupid" is in the eye of the beholder. (I think the quote was in relation to extravagent stage props for rock shows in the Eighties).
Ignorant as I am, I think it is not necessarily a matter of your having enough material, but deciding to take the plunge. Go for it!
(Don't you think we take Blogit's stage for granted?).

Re: OutaBreath
You are probably right about this. To tell you the truth 'enjoyment' had a very low priority in my childhood and perhaps I've never caught up. Thank you for visiting and leaving this sensible comment.

By all means - stick your neck out and take the plunge - as Napoleon said, " l'audace, toujours l'audace...", and of course I wish you HUGE success.
You are one of my favourite liberals, and I know we agree on many things, though we will probably never see eye-to-eye on how to deal with what, in our era, will be (or is already) the defining threat to reason, democracy and the open society - Islamo-Fascism...But that's okay! I am extremely tolerant of opposing views - the only thing I will not tolerate is intolerance - hence my strong opposition to I-F...
And no, I am not a closet Danish-speaker, lol! That K.W. interview was properly translated, not by that Google translation app, which is the absolute pits...

Good? Clever? How about: Enjoy? The older I get the more I realize there is little beyond experience itself. Others, ill- or well-meaning, put the judgment on our behavior--if we let them. Now if only I could better-follow my own opinion! (does this bathrobe make me look fat?)

I think when it comes to publishing, you might turn that message
over, and be clever. It's a given that you're good.

This is the point I'm at too..
I'd like to be both - Good & Clever - in equal measure...:)
Editing is where the real work begins, imho.
Best Of Success to you, Elinjo!

Blogit is a great place to explore and write, as well as to file and edit
into bigger and better things to try to publish. It's worked for me a few times and I hope to do more of it soon myself! Best of luck to you as well!
