   Only one published out of countless manuscripts. Have a non-fiction project   
   stalled on artwork that will be self-published due to size and subject. And -   
   I''m not throwing a pity party here - since my skills have apparently   
   plateaued on a substandard    
   level and declined, that becoming a professional writer just isn't going to   
   happen.   
      
   It didn't help when, after I decided to polish an almost sale, that said   
   market closed. Seems a lot of SF and F markets aren't taking submissions these   
   day.   
      
   One editor did suggest, out of the blue, going self-publishing in a certain   
   genre, and maybe that's an option, but at this point it seems useless.
