Some writing examples:<br>
Ray Bradbury got about 1500 rejections before being published (of course he started submitting when he was about eleven years old.)<br>
Agatha Christie began writing at a rather advanced age, as did Raymond Chandler, who had made and lost several fortunes in the oil business: writing is an excellent second career.<br>
The best rules for writing I know were put down years ago by Robert A. Heinlein:<br>
1. Write<br>
2. Finish what you write<br>
3. Send out what you've written<br>
4. Don't rewrite except to editorial direction<br>
I'll explain that last one if anyone is interested. <p></p><i></i>
