Thank you for the tip ! But , does he use his applications on MAC ? I will look this up . I am no where near publishing , but it is great to have every good idea together . One less think to stress about as a first time writer !!! I am so scared to bare my writings ! It feels like I am totally naked walking though the world . Do you know the dream when you enter the classroom and you realize you have a test for which you did not study. Then to make things worse you look down and have not a stitch of clothing on your body ! I am that afraid to share my writing . I have one poem published and it was a cathartic release to me to do so ! The words came pouring out so fast any indication perfect form . I barely changed a bit. I sent it in and it was an editor’s choice winner. I never showed it to my parents because they don’t get it. No one has even asked to read it . I have written others since for my own pleasure. I have some stories base on memoir . I write every day . I always read to learn from other good writers . I have not been able to complete my MFA @ Ole Miss because of money and my parents need me home because my Daddy has Cancer.

Is there any hope that I might ever write without the background of a good Graduate program ? Your graduate studies is really where you learn the most . I home is filled with authors here in Oxford, MS home of William Faulkner, Tom Franklin, Barry Hannah , Willie Morris, Wilkie McCool, John Grisham , my cousin Larry Brown , and the list goes on and on ….

I read over 100 books a year and write reviews as a freelancer and sometimes really FREE. ! I review anything artistic and creative and unique about people .

Oh! Well, I have rambled to feel your ear with my crappy frustration . PLEEEESE FORGIVE ME! I was just wondering about your background in writing to be able to self publish so determined and bravely???? Would you you mind taking a moment to share . I could really use practical advice . Thank you so very much for you time .

Sincerely,

Dawn Copley
