Anne Hart writes about books and niche news.
I love reading books. Since June 17,1959 I've been writing books, writing articles about books, writing articles about how to write books...writing more....and sometimes illustrating the covers of several of my books.
Books I have written many years ago before I retired as a freelance writer. Then again, I'm very elderly and still looking for something to write once in a while. My book titles at this date are listed at Amazon.com. I started writing June 17, 1959 and wrote nearly every day when I had the chance. It brought such joy. Now that I'm in my golden years, I'm looking for something to write about for about an hour each day. I wrote novels, nonfiction, plays, short fiction, and some poetry.
Noteworthy is that my M.A. in English/creative writing emphasized fiction writing, including poetry. My B.S. in English Education is dated 1964. Oh what fun it was to go to college in the late 1950s and early to mid 1960s, then return again for more graduate work from 1976-1979....How the courses (and tuition rates) changed over the years....fascinating. Here are some of my book titles written several years ago: And as an unknown writer, only a very, very few people ever bought any of my all print-on-demand published books. But in the 1980s, I wrote books (nonfiction) for major publishers. It's something to think about that all the books I ever wrote for mainstream publishers went out of print, but all the self-published or print-on-demand published books didn't quickly go out of print.
On the other hand, I had to pay for all the books self-published, and almost no one bought them. But even though I didn't earn any money to speak of from my books that would even pay for a good pair of shoes and a weekend vacation, on the other hand, the process of writing was joyful. The alternative? Since no alternative was ever offered, I'll never know. The result may have been the same...ending up a low-income senior citizen, nondriver, low-mobility, who's a frugal housewife growing her own tomatoes and zucchini in a tiny yard on a street near heavy traffic, and living on a tiny budget, but still love to write...now and then. And writing about another century does take one away from the air pollution and heavy traffic view, doesn't it?
