Just write stories that don't pertain to a certain race. Just write characters as people.<br />Do stories that anyone can relate to no matter their race.<br />As for jobs-have you thought about teaching in public schools? <br />Does New York have alternative certification programs for people with degree? I know people way over 40 who had done that and now are teaching.<br />The programs (at least in my state) are free to enroll and they will take out their fees once you get hired.<br />Or try being a teacher assistant as NCLB requires all TAs to have a degree.<br />I know it might not make you happy but at least you would have a job and have time to work on books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
