I've had three goals in life: 1) Work for a publishing house; 2) Be mentioned in the acknowledgements section of a book; and 3) Get a book published. I've met two of those goals, which completely shocked me. Now I am writing two stories with the intention of someday aiming towards getting one or both of them published. We shall see. I try not to get ahead of myself. My spouse tells me that the fun of writing should be my driving motivation. I really do enjoy it; and I want to celebrate with others who enjoy both writing and reading as well.
