This may be unnecessary, but I want to encourage you to write and post your writings here. I have been a member for several years and have posted almost 600 essays. Few read them, but that is OK. I do not depend on this site for my livelihood, but I like to write and there are a few people who read what I write. If you eventually find readership, as the French say, 'tant mieux.' Regardless, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
