You know, that gets me wondering.  How many, if any, of the people

on the

FFML are professional writers?

I personally believe that the majority of the truly exceptional
writers on this mailing list have considered, are considering, or are
already writing (or attempting to write, getting published can be a
bitch) professionally.

  And where are they now?
  Laughing all the way to the bank, of course :)
  (In all seriousness, getting published is based more on luck from what I 
hear. Just about every professional writer I see tells me that.)

  Maggots love to eat what I write. Well, I never planned on publishing 
myself, but if it ever comes to that all the better (even a magazine would 
be nice).

  Until the wheel burns out, I'll be there....
