I remembered trying to get my mini-story in an black romance magazine named 'Jive'. It was in the mid to late eighties. They liked my ideas, but I had to make so many corrections, I got frustrated and so I gave it up In the early nineties, I did some songwriting, and I had someone help me with the music. The producer said that someone from EMI was interested in me, and wanted me to cut a master tape. I backed out, after learning how the music business can be ugly, and something within me told me not to pursue this.

But I looked like I'm twenty-five

If that verb hadn't been in past tense, it would have been an awesome response.

Kimrachell - Can I ask what your experience was like self-publishing? It's something I'm giving consideration to for a project I am working on. Sounds like you've had some amazing experiences, btw!

i self published my first book when i was 16 years old. i learned a lot from that experience, it was a lot of fun. as time went on i published more books. i kept it simple, and costs low. it worked well for me, i sold a good amount of books that way. it's also a lot of hard work promoting the books though when you do it yourself. i visited all the book stores in-person, did poetry readings at cafe's, had articles written about me in the newspaper. this all helped, now days i'm not too sure if i would be up to that sort of dedication. but if you have the time for it, and the dedication, i think it's worth a try.
