Here's one. :-)

I met my wife and the mother of my children at a writers class 15 years ago.
At that time I was convinced I'd be a published writer some day. I also thought I would dedicate my life to teaching teenagers about Religion and History i.e. become a high-school teacher.

None of that happened though. Time goes by and people change I guess.

I still write and have a small internet following on a couple of other forums. (fiction writers guild etc)

I just don't have the drvie any more, you know? I have to write but I realized I don't really have to be published. In fact I cringe every time I think about sending in one of my manuscripts.

Fear of rejection? Sure. But also fear of change. Having to change my life and priorities is not something I do without a certain amount of resistance. I'm a man of habit, and I like known facts. Like a monthly pay heck and a boss that tells me what needs to be done. I'm not sure I could handle living the life of an author.

So I write here on the web.
