I’m retired now and really don’t know where to start. Sometimes, I just think maybe I should just give it up but then I look at some of the greeting cards nowadays and know I can do a heck of a lot better.

(On the outside i try to seem strong, act like i kno whats going on. On the inside im scared and locked away, dont kno what to really do or say. My days they come they go, some go so fast like a blurr i just dont kno. Everything seems so strange at times it seems to change to fast for me to kno. Lifes so strange it makes me want to float away and find a hiding place some where alone under a loving dome where no one knos what it is to be alone if i could take one thing with me it would be nothing but the best of me)

I think it comes down to the company you are working with. I would think that may be the case with most places. But to be sure, contact and ask the companies you are interested in working with.

Maybe get signed by someone?

You’re very welcome, Anne.

I am happy you’re already taking action and are trying to get in touch with some of these companies. I wish you the best. Keep us updated please.

Many thanks for your response. I’m in the process now of, “touching base” with some of the above mentioned companies, with hope they may be in need of another writer to join their staff.

I’ve read much about Etsy, and have a few friends utilizing that resource for selling handmade / DIY items. I’ve not delved into it before – but I’ll do some investigating in regards to any policy boundaries in regards to things more of the, “adult” nature.

Thank you again, very much!!!
