Writing to Live
Suddenly more important than ever
Dr Mehmet Yildiz (chief editor of Illumination) is awesome. I have read as much as I can of his writing. I feel that Illumination is home to me. He has taught me much in the short time I have been here.
I have written a bit more than three hundred stories at this point.
For my primary job, I help people sell their own houses in MLS systems across my state. I have been involved in real estate almost 40 years, so I am not exactly young. I do my work online because I don’t get around as I did when I was a youth.
Today, my practice has swerved into a Catch-22 type of bureaucratic hiccups and I suddenly realize how almost anything can change overnight. Even though my income was not great, if I were to suddenly hope to replace it with my writing income, I would weep.
Enter my sudden thought of the 1000 stories in 100 days challenge.
I have often done four and five stories in a day, but I don’t know about this at all. If Dr Mehmet Yildiz says it can be done, I will try.
I do still have some fairly intense struggles with a couple of “departments” but I will try to wrangle enough time to submit as many stories as I can.
They will be shorter than this one.
So please read if you can, and please join Medium through my link, too.
Thanks!
