The letters of our thoughts are the ideas present in our mind before they come to realization . . . Thoughts that are, yet not felt . . . The words of the subconscious . . . of the soul . . .

These are the LETTERS OF MY THOUGHTS.

Hackwriting for the Push Button Publisher

A short one -I spent half of my Blogging time fixing a bug in my Cellphone . . . B"H it worked out.

I like writing . . .
I've read of bloggers who have become so successful that they've wound up with book deals.
I've read of authors who have given up blogging because they find it counter intuitive to the creative writing process.

I'm not looking for any book deals -I mean if you have one I'll take it but . . .

What I do wonder is why what I do write seems to not get very far.

Let me explain:

I wrote Dreams . . . in truth it is one of my oldest stories, written over seven years ago.

I submitted it to Chabad.org
Yanki Tauber read it and told me that he liked my writing, but wasn't sure if he wanted to use that exact piece . . . instead I should submit some other samples.
I send several other stories


Results:
No further response.

I wrote The Cycle of Life in Vilna and sent it to The Algemeiner Journal.
Yossi Jacobson reads it, publishes(!) it under the title He was Buried as a Jew
and seems interested in seeing more from me.
I send several other stories

Results:
No further response.

I'm working on more, I haven't given up . . .
But if any of you out there know where I can get my stuff published . . .

Your link to "He Was Buried as a Jew" is incorrect. The correct one is:
http://www.algemeiner.com/generic.asp?id=2518
I'll let you hyperlink it.
