I write, but I try to be as coherent as possible, because otherwise why should anyone bother reading you? I agonize over grammatical affairs like comma usage and subject-verb agreement. It took me years to pump out 500 pages of my autobiography, only 200 of which are probably good...the rest I some day might cut.
The trouble with writing, I've found, is that nobody cares. There's really not a market, unless you're writing romance, mystery, or thriller; AND (a mighty big AND) have a great talent. And even then, you will have an uphill battle without any connections in the writing or publishing biz. If you're a moderate/average writer like me, then forget it, which is what I did. Why write, if nobody wants to read your stuff?
I've had some luck writing erotica, but there's only so much of that I can handle based upon my aging physiology. Writing the hot stuff really taxes the hormones.
