faith in publishing....

Faith without works is non existent.
If you really want to profit from telling your story, (and you know it's agood one!)
then you  have to start journaling. That's right, you must write at least a paragraph a day!
Remember, a paragraph a day, keeps your sanity at bay!

Start writing.
Need help?
That's what we're here for!
