As early as I can remember my daydreams and night dreams was about adventures stories, being he hero who rescued the fair maiden.

And yes, I rooted for the hero who bested the bullies in his life. I had my fair share of them in my life given my own circumstances. I wrote my first story in my senior year in high school, then shelved it as worthless. It wasn't until decades later that I had my poetry published in those anthologies. Even won a few recognitions. My my first real Sci-fi manuscipt was rejected by a publisher summarily and I gave up writing. To be honest I was lousy when it came to english grammer, but had a great imagination. curing Covid, at 70 years of age, I took out my dustiy manuscripts and went the Ebook route with Smashwords, and 46 published Ebooks later, I am still grinding away.
I was certainly a late bloomer, like at age 47 I got a college degree, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the National Deans List, and was inducted into the PHI Thetta Kappa honor society. My High school counscelor once told me that I was't college material. Was told digging ditches was the best job for me. I believed her, and dug ditches, and spend 27 years still believing her. Bullies come in all kind of shapes and ages. My first ebook is a bio about my bullies called "Walters and the Bullies" On Smashwords.com I am still lousy at grammer and spelling and very thankful for spell and grammer check.
At 72, I look forward to a few more books out of me. I will pat myself on the back and say my Sci Fi fantasy are good reads,. My rite of passages series even better, my chapbook, my mysteries, and my non-fiction revealing.
