Hey, Maven, just to let you know I'm rooting for you. Could you maybe get a call center job you could do from home? It might be a lot quicker than hoping to make a decent amount of money from writing. About 18 years ago I tried that and never got anything but rejections. I know you don't want to hear that because it's so depressing. I am just trying to think of options for you to get on top of this as quickly as possible.
