I want to share a story with you, a real life story that shows that anything is possible, if you put your mind to it. With this story I also want to encourage you to start writing. You may think that it is not interesting what you have to say. I am sure you know something that soemone else wants to know about or somebody else is interested in.

I met Richard today, a delightful volunteer in a thrift shop who had a stack of two different children’s book sitting on the counter  in front of him. I found out that they were his books, he had written them just recently. When he approached a publisher with his first one he was told that it wouldn’t sell, that it was too Australian. He took it elsewhere and so far has sold 1500 copies!

BUT the most remarkable thing about the whole story is that Richard was illiterate for 63 years of his life. He went to the local college and started learning to read and write.  Within 3 years he became an author.
