It is my nature whether good or bad, to help anyone asking and since making my previous post I have felt uncomfortable to say the least. If we still could I would have deleted it but as it is thats not an option. First for those interested, I had an idea, I asked my good friend Janis (Smilinize)for her expert help in setting up a website for me, which she selflessly did. Then I designed a brief but exact foil business card which I ordered from an inexpensive catalog. I checked out via phone books, library magazines etc. every writing group I could fine and sent them my business cards with a brief note asking they pass them out to their writers. I post a card wherever I can. I also have gotten my little one line add in any, all adult park/resort here in town, as many older writers have marvelous storys but can't write and need a ghost writer. As to educating myself I have never stopped studying books on grammar, punctuation etc. plus my MA and BA are in Literature and English...I just received a phone call Friday from a local man who wrote and sang the theme song from Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase. I am meeting with him Thursday for lunch, (hey a girl has to eat) and he wants to discuss lyrics he has written for 200 songs before putting them in some type of music book. Not sure why he needs a ghost writer but you can be sure I will know Thursday. I guess what I am trying to say is, "leave no stone unturned," get on your horse and make it happen. If I can begin a whole new career at my age, hell anybody can... Lynnie thank you from the bottom of my heart for your comment.
