If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it. ↗

Time is the king of all men, he is their parent and their grave, and gives them what he will and not what they crave. ↗
