But there is something to having the right tools too. I mean, I remember back when the choice was either a pen and paper, or a typewriter. The worse thing about the typewriter was that, invariably come the last paragraph on a page, you make a mistake and have to scrap the whole page and retype from scratch. So infuriating. Also, deciding to rearrange chapters was a nuisance as it meant a retype. Computers have changed all that and allowed us to concentrate on our craft rather than our typing.

And would also add that paying your dues to the industry of writing and publishing is important. Along with the saying must come the doing, I think. In today's world of digital publishing, anyone can write and publish, but to make it your living requires that you know enough of the business to be credible and readable. ---mkp I agree with you, Elizabeth.

There is something to that. If you decide that's what you will commit to, your chances become much broader.
