That's what came to mind as I worked on our November issue of Barefoot Writer Magazine", says Mindy McHorse, Executive Editor. "Because as it turned out, several of the stories we collected this month kick off with tales of challenge and strife (the kind we all experience from time to time). "What's different about these tales is that every time, the writer came out on top. Part of that is because of the insane amount of opportunity in paid writing. Part of it is because of the level of support members of this community provide each other. But no matter how you look at it, it's inspiring stuff and reminds me why I LOVE being part of this adventure called Barefoot Writing!"
