Hi there, HKB! Let me tell you something: You absolutely should return. I stopped writing years ago once I married my husband. The day we separated, I dusted off a very old story of mine and sent it out for publication. It got accepted into an upcoming anthology. Have I improved in the past three months?
Sure, but I wouldn’t have known how far I could go and the potential I have yet to meet until I did it. Go for it. I hope it’s not luck for me, too, but I know I’m a strong writer and I’ll continue to grow, so I think I have a future. You have a chance, I swear! You don’t have to write about sex, either. Write about life with sincerity. Let me know when you do write, I’ll come check out your work.
