About Susan Rand
Expertise
I can answer such questions as "What is a short story?" "How do I go about writing one?" "How do I know when I`ve got a good idea?" Also questions on characters, plot (if any), conflict, resolution, etc. I cannot tell you how to get published or what formats might be interested in your work. My concern is with the story itself - does it work or doesn`t it?

Experience
I have read many short stories for pleasure and even more with a critical eye. I know what a short story is and is supposed to be. I have edited fiction books and contributed articles to several e'zines.

Education/Credentials
BA in English/creative writing, 35 years studying, teaching and writing/editing.

Answer
Hello ga:

My opinion is that the individual you describe has as good a chance of becoming a writer as anyone else, provided:

1. He is a patient person;

2. He is willing to study and study and study some more;

3. He is able to wait and wait for his reward, never knowing if there will actually be one; and

4. He writes in a language he knows well, or is prepared to learn to speak another fluently.

I hope this helps. If it does, a nice rating would be greatly appreciated. I am proud of my high score over 1350 questions.

And good luck with your writing.
