Hestija, may I make a few suggestions?
1. Seek not to be heard, but instead, seek the humility to hear, and relate the experience of others.
2. Avoid such cliche' as leftist liberals seek out. Their propaganda is soon forgotten, as is proper. If you wish to write, seek far better examples: Hemmingway, Shakespeare, Tom Clancy, Louis L'Amour.
3. Know that writing is the toughest profession that exists. Editors can be capricious, some are politically bigoted, I have known quite a few bigoted feminists who then lost their editorial positions because they automatically blacklisted men, and once you are on their blacklist, you will never publish again -- they will see to it.
America once had the freedom to express oneself honestly. The sad and bitter shame is that now, only bitter and deranged leftist liars, with a bitter grudge, can please the leftist firebrand editors who control the press.
That is why there is absolutely no freedom of the press in our nation. It will remain set down to this cold and bitter extreme until those mindless left-wing bigots come to their senses but by then it will be too late for us all.
