I love every inch of what I do ! Its all related to my writing ! ALL of it! Next for me is audio versions of my stuff, and folks will send me money for that.

And this essay, that you are reading is beginning of a new book; ebook first entitled: *Manifesting E-Media* Why that as a title?

Since there is a mechanics behind having fun and money show up in our lives, and that's what I write about; that is also what I apply to my livelihood of which I have created with Main Thread that runs through all of my writings. Simply themes of *User Friendly Physics*, or *How To Get What You Want w/o Goofin' It Up First!*

So, if you are a writer, please know there is *gold in them thar hills!* But you have to be willing to expand your writing beyond actual book that you are writing or have written.

I have friends who have written Novels, and they keep having them edited and this and that, and as of yet have not made one penny off of their writing; and they keep paying for more edits. They have no energy moving , or momentum to bring money to them in ease. They also are not willing to think past their current manuscript, and are hoping to be discovered, so they worry and wait, and hope.

Well Not me Bub, I wanna have fun while I am creating more of my writing stuff, and part of that fun is being sent money for stuff that I do now !

And yes, I would write and have written much stuff for free, just because I love writing and have to write; but when you make Decision that writing is your livelihood, then at some point all other income streams have to go, so that you can do only that.

It will be at this point , that only source you have as an income are things related to your writing. So you do want to get paid, and are no longer doing only free work. You can't do only free work for love of writing, and live by means that we live in todays societies.

Money helps us live as we choose and our writing can very well be a vehicle of that. And when you can do *that*, then Life is But a Dream !

You’ll notice that some of these markets pay but most of them—usually literary zines—don’t. Yet they ask for your best work. Why submit to them? Several reasons: For editors, this is a labor of love. Most frequently they have degrees in English and/or experience in traditional publishing. They love to read; moreover, their greatest desire is to make their own contribution to Literature. If you’re good, one of their life’s thrills will be to have discovered you. Also, ezines are growing in prestige, and best of them are being read by agents and major publishers. Check out contributors’ bios in some of zines here. You’ll see novelists, columnists, professors. When they place a story in a webzine their colleagues and agents will read it and probably take a look at other pieces too.

But more importantly, placement in online zines is best way to build up your list of credits quickly. You don’t have to be a careerist to understand that writing is a career, too, as well as a vocation and a passion. The more you place, more you’re seen. And more your work is accepted, likelier you are to be regarded as a serious writer to bank on by higher tiers in publishing world.

And remember why you write in first place. To express, to communicate—to be READ.
