I want my own little place, real bad!

I was so good at it when I was a child that while my teachers praised me for my work, one child tore my watercolor painting when no one was looking and another child brushed her eraser dust onto the paper that I was working on. How proud I was that I could make someone so envious! That was a long time ago. Now I have nearly forgotten how to paint or draw. I sketch and paint whenever I get the time, but nothing that I can shout to the world about! I tear some of them up myself! I watch art videos on YouTube for inspiration. I so badly want to become a good artist “again.”

I have been an editor for as long as I can remember. I was editor of magazines and journals at school, and then an editor of children’s books at a publishing house, and now an editor of technical course material at a software company. I think it’s time that I let someone else edit my writing, turn it into a marvelous book, and market it ever so nicely for me. What a lovely thought!
