Wanna’ Write? Check Out This Article on Taking a Chance

I want to direct you to a July 30 article titled: “Take a Chance,” by Doreen Rosevald in WritersWeekly, http://writersweekly.com/success_stories/004834_07302008.html, to find out what she has learned that might be useful to other writers. She was a farmer’s wife with two babies who dared to take a chance and ended up with her own newspaper column, and much more. Her experience was much like mine when I approached a newspaper publisher at a networking meeting and was offered a regular column plus getting feature articles on a variety of business topics published.

Getting into writing is really that easy! And if you don’t succeed the first time, or it doesn’t work out as you expected, try again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. What’s the worst that can happen? The word "No"? We’ve all heard that word before, some of us over and over again, so what’s another "No" if you desperately want to write and be published? Just another tiny speed bump on the parking lot of a typical writer’s life.

On the other hand, take a chance and you might just find that there really is a paying outlet for your writing. Shucks, you could very easily become rich and famous.
