I don't think I would have made it far as a writer back then. It would have taken ten years for me to get just one story perfect! LOL.

They really cranked out the stories.Patricia PacJac Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125551283257404759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-46816314180889732682016-02-25T16:31:56.999-08:002016-02-25T16:31:56.999-08:00Thank you Marty.

I've read some of the stories of Ned Buntline, and while written in the style of the time, they weren't half bad.

And I love dime novels! They're like the movie serials of reading. Lots of respectable late 19th/ early 20th century writers got their start penning dime novels for Street and Smith and similar publishers.Mary Crossonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507232844907693775noreply@blogger.com
