I had an exciting afternoon today, taking free college classes, four of them, at our local community college. The college celebrated its 40th anniversity by offering 200 40-minute classes running from 1 PM to 4 PM today. I would not want to miss the chance of getting re-educated for free and received the maximum allowance for that time-frame. There were oceans of people on that campus. Guess people cannot resist anything free.

Of the four that I took, two classes are on writing; another two on economy, for both living and hobby. They did not teach you how to write but how to profit from your writing, that is, having them published. I already felt so much richer after the class.

I have learned that for many people, it is not that they cannot write or cannot write well, some even with better-than-average writing skills, but they fail because of lack of the commitment, the motivation, and the proper guide to pursue this path or to realize their dreams. What a loser! Sounds so familiar, as if reading my own history. Well, part of it.

While walking with my daughter in the evening, I shared my excitement with her and talked with high enthusiasm about our publishing plan. Now, I have extra incentive to speed up the drive. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself.
