I am happy to report that my niece finished editing my manuscript. It did not take her long and her insightful advice was wonderful. Another helpful factor was she did it for free! She majored in English and is very intelligent.
Kudos to you Amanda! I appreciate all that you have done for me. Now it's time to hear back from the literary agents and/or the publishers.

Short Stories vs. Novels
I have written a collection of short stories which I am trying to get published even as I am writing this.
Short stories are easy for me to write when I have an idea. I don't necessarily envision a plot, it just flows. However, today I decided I am going to write a novel. I don't know the genre or the subject but just making up my mind to do it is the first step.
I checked Literary agents and publishers and it appears to be easier to submit a novel versus a collection of short stories.
I may even do non-fiction, I am not sure at this point.
My decision has been made to write a book, now I have to find a topic. Research will be my bedfellow for the next few days or weeks, dependent upon finding the right niche that I want to engage myself in.
