I'm a firm believer that we are where we are supposed to be. That things happen when we are ready for them. Maybe you were too footlooose and fancy free to.give it an honest try back then but now would be the right time?
I can see where I wasn't ready at the time. As good as they were I honestly believe that I could write even better now. I have more life experience to draw from and apply to my stories.
I may just give it a shot. What's the worst that can happen? No one likes it? No biggie. I wrote mostly for myself anyway. Lol
