I loved reading about your experience in school, @idlemind. And there is something so wonderful about having your own collection of books. All those amazing ideas, stories and brilliant words. I'm always amazed when people tell me they don't like to read!

It's great that you are getting your stories published. I also have a number of titles to my name now, and will be coming out with my own collection in the spring. I've written all of my stories for the writing prompts in my writing group over the last four years. (Let me know if you are interested. It's excellent motivation to write regularly, and you get feedback from other writers.) Do you publish in online magazines too? There are so many markets now that it is daunting for authors!
