Fendi:
Sorry for being so slow to respond. I don't really write about anything. It's just that I would LOVE to, and once I wrote a long letter to my sister-in-law, and she said I should have been a writer. I can also write very easily if I feel very strongly about something. I wrote to someone who had been bullied in school about my experiences with being bullied. She said she had thought about or tried to kill herself, and I told her I was glad she didn't kill herself. She wrote me back and said she burst into tears when she read what I wrote her. I read that's a sign of a good writer, when they make people feel emotions. She said God Bless You to me. That made me feel so good.

Sharmayla,

Since you love to write, why don't you do a local blog?

This way you can write about the local things at your place.

Zoom in on certain places and when you have enough
readership on your local blog, sell some advertising to local
companies in the area.

That's a great resource Veronica.

Budding writers should learn from that.

Thanks everybody! The thought of writing a blog is SO EXCITING! I don't know if I can do it. Can I be anonymous in case I fail or sound stupid or something? Does everyone have to know my real name? I know I should be brave and think positive and all that, but I've suffered a lifetime of no self-esteem due to a very abusive childhood.

I'll check out that website, Veronica. Thanks!

Sharmayla,

You can always write under a pen name.

But perk-up. Don't dwell on the past but perhaps you
could be encouraging current sufferers how to deal
with their situation.
