I've always found that I communicate much better in writing than one-on-one. My dissertation work nearly killed my desire to write, but it is slowly coming back (no, the dissertation isn't finished yet). I'm working on a book titled, "Real Men Raise Girls" that details the humor and humiliation that comes from raising three daughters. After reading your post, I'm thinking of offering a chapter to some magazines for rejection, er, consideration. Thanks again!</p> Anne,

I do make a nice return on some of the writing that I do for other websites, so I’m slowly but surely building up to the point where I can command more for what I write.
