Times... They are a changin' ?

It finally seems that it's all coming together. I have been writing and banging my head against a brick wall trying to eek out a living to no avail. Then within the past few weeks it is as though the bricks are finally giving way and falling through to something promising. I have this advice column that will hopefully come to pass - and then yesterday I received word from a publishing house that they would like me to submit a short story for publication in their magazine. Neither pay vast fortunes, but they do pay - and it does get my name out there. It's a step in the right direction. And I am ready to run. It's time. It's MY time - and by golly I am taking it.
