It was a long time ago, before I decided to publish stories on the blog. My old blog 'Val's Ramblings' had all the stories and were listed in the side-bar. At the age I am now it's a bit too late to worry about publishing.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-70479193009938680302018-03-01T08:10:17.840+00:002018-03-01T08:10:17.840+00:00Yes, you really should be published Valerie.

Whether you want to go to the trouble of doing it I don't know but I am guessing you would find a following, you have a real gift for a good story.

At least they are in book form and not a folder of rag tag papers for 'someday'.

I often think similar thoughts about rejection and waiting for publishers to reply,if they do.<br /><br />Have you ever been a member of a writing group? I use to be in one and it was great to read out my work and read other writers work. At least we can publish our work on the Internet. northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-18552395748710083312018-02-25T14:17:50.609+00:002018-02-25T14:17:50.609+00:00Valerie, I had no idea you've written TWENTY-F...Valerie, I had no idea you've written TWENTY-FIVE books, that's AWESOME!!!
