I think I passed the qualifying test.  Figured out a lot of this on my own but its gratifying to have my hunches confirmed.  I hope to accomplish something along these lines with "Adventures in Cronehood."  There's no money in it.   But I'm aiming for a late life career in academia I learned that early in life.  Freelancing articles only works if you live in NYC and it was always too expensive to live there.  Fiction's not my bag.  I like the personal or observational essay myself.  The only problem with using FB is the constant messaging of folks who are shy to openly post.  So I make mindfulness my daily routine.  I used to have a short fuse when I was younger that I've managed since.  Hey, if this is too long, tell me.  With my vision limitations that come with age, I'm looking for alternative means of communication.  Of course you can always message me or post on FB.  You don't need a specific invitation.
