Way to go, V! Did you know that Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) was the first professional writer to use a typewriter? I found this info when visited his home/museum in Hannibal, MO, a few years back.

I had a few stories published in Australia back then, even with illustrations. I wrote everything by hand, drew my own Illustrations, and sent it to be published. Yes, very different now. My computer had loads of pictures to choose from, which I could alter enough to make them mine because I am not clever at drawing but good at that altering stuff. Anyway, they sold a few; Christmas was a good time to get published with children's stories.
