Remember to drink some water!
My first...Happy BD! Remember to drink some water!<br /><br />My first attempt at novel-writin', in 1976, was on a Royal KHM typewriter, vintage 1938 or so. I loved that machine enough to later base my pen name on it, but, my god, did I get quickly spoiled on word processing a few years later.<br /><br />Over the past few years, I've made well over a hundred short story submissions. Some accepted and published, others rejected up to 20+ times (and counting!) I would've spent a fortune on postage if I had to mail off physical manuscripts (never mind the additional time spent waiting for trucks and jeeps and the mailman's feet to eventually get the large brown envelope to the publisher, then back to me with a rejection).<br /><br />My dream's never been to write a phenomenal best-seller and retire to sit on a throne made of bags of cocaine. Just want to make a living at it; because, goddamnit it, we should have jobs we actually like.Manuel Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392229225958688128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859940184293909528.post-73042280708912974742018-05-30T02:42:07.774-07:002018-05-30T02:42:07.774-07:00happy birthday for thursday!
