much SHEIK Address Sally ONeil O'Neil Metro-Gold- Metro wyn wn studios Culver City California Always welcome Dear Betty Blair I cannot tell y you u how much good I derive from your column and like all the others I am coming with witha a problem that has long since become become be become be- be come almost impossible I married when I was 22 years old but long before that almost as far back as I remember I have wanted to write for publication Being handicapped with little or no means and practically uneducated rI I realized it would mean lots of hard work and effort on my part I set myself the task of learning and defining ten words daily and devoted my evenings to the study of English Somehow I dont don't know yet just how it happened I sold a few short stories also scenarios But when my second child was born I was taken with a serious illness that very nearly cost me my life Many Manya a night during those years of poor health I have taken my pencil and tried to jot down a synopsis for a astory astory astory story and found myself too weak and despondent to make the effort I would go to bed to battle all night with a story In the morning would be by lack of sleep that I needed so badly As my health has grown better bettor and the babies are babies no more I find the same old desires to write returning to me In jn attendance at fairs while shopping or possibly at a guild meeting I find mys myself lf searching the faces for my hero or heroine in a story Isn't that silly Betty Blair I 1 feel sure though if you have ever wanted to do anything anything anything any any- thing so badly that it hurt you will understand Though now my desire has almost become a night night- mare Now for the question Is there any book at the library that will help me master correct English Any books for the new literary aspirant aspirant aspirant as as- Courses in journalism or or correspondence are arc not open to me meat meat meat at present as plainly speaking I cannot afford them Miss Blair if f fI I cant can't learn to write something worthy of a place in th the best magazines magazines maga maga- then I will write nothing at all In short 1 J see nothing beautiful beautiful beautiful beau beau- in writing if jf I cannot be a h I second Oliver Curwood Jean Stratton Porter or some of those authors whose writings we are better better better bet bet- ter for having read Dear Betty I wonder when God saw fit to take my health away that He could not have left me just justa a grateful mother whose life had been spared for home and family instead of a yearning for that something something some- some thing that seems as far removed as the end of the rainbow I surely did not intend to monopolize your corner when I started With a wish for your health health for for after all Betty Blair what better wish could I give you with with health surely happiness and prosperity will be yours DISCONTENTED Yours Discontented is the story that most aspiring authors have to tell If it is not health that seems to retard progress tt tl Is poverty or lack lacle of time to spend on the stories that write themselves only on the parchment of the brain You will notice that I say Bay seems to retard progress For after aUer all it ii is is' not the obstacles that beset our pathway that really do retard with no obstacles to overcome there would be no desire for achievement Look over the life stories of those who have risen to the heights Dogged persistence in the very teeth of despair has won many a laurel It is gre greatly to your advantage that you have been fortunate enough in th the pa pat past t to market some of your manuscripts And it is my advice that you be not too squeamish about your our market Sell where you can for every sale will give you that much more confidence in yourself If you cant can't make malte the Big Four magazines try the second second sec see ond or third raters You would be surprised if you knew lenew how many with Big Four ambitions must be satisfied with third rate fame in inthis inthis this big game of of competition of brains against brains art against art drivel against for drivel for so much of it is just dust that No r it is not silly for rOl you to study the i ces of the people YOU meet for the stuff whereof your our heroes are alc made It is not futile to about your daily tasks weaving weaving ing inS go plots about the most simple in- in do not let your ac- ac But ident I result in dreams only Keep tied to your apron a pad and pencil Shake the dishwater from your fingers to scribble down that Idea that just flitted through your mind It may never come again Ask at the library desk for the magazines The Editor The Writers Writer's Monthly The Author and Journalist Occasionally you will be able to buy an especially good number from the book boole shop so that you may take it home and digest the excellent articles that appear to help beginners Ask also for the magazine called Correct English edited by Josephine Turck Baker You may be able to get bound hound volumes in your town li Ii- Ii braIT Make inquiry concerning the possibilities of using the Y library in your town And Discontented just be glad for the yearning Your wish for forme forme forme me is wonderful and In full measure I return the same to you Do come again Dear Miss Blair Can you please tell me there is a premium on an 1875
