Writer's Comments:
When I introduce myself as a writer, people ask me the question "what do you write?"
I reply "anything that pays," which sounds mercenary but is pretty accurate. Being a success as a writer is not a measure of how much you are published in the public eye. It is a measure of how much you get paid to write. Having been published in magazines feels wonderful. Having your book on the bookshelf really rocks. However, the true success of a writer comes when they make enough money to clothe and feed themselves with funds from their own work, no matter what kind of writing they do. That is the best feeling of all.
