How important is the ‘Profile’?
Does it earn its keep?
My ‘Profile’ is lengthy – but needs to be if it is to improve the opportunities of landing bigger fish?
Observations on my ‘Profile’ (with comments on your own) would be most welcome.
ps: Did I do right in adding a film clip?

I expect you are right. Some of us can't list achievements if we are yet to create any worth mentioning.

About looking at other people's 'Profiles', I do, but often there is very little to read - sometimes nothing at all!
Am I right in concluding these writers have nothing to say about themselves?
My lectures and writing are almost exclusively about me. It is what my clients seem to want - and I cannot really express the wonderful feeling I have when someone says to me "You saved my life" - all they have done was to follow my advice (on prostate cancer and breast cancer). Very satisfying I can tell you.
When I have talked about writing, the often heard comment is, "Is it as easy as that?" I point out that it is not. It strikes me as rather important for established writers to always do their best to foster new writers. We all had to start somewhere.
A good 'Profile' should give encouragement to those following in our footsteps.
Pleased you like the idea of my 'Journal' - it will make interesting reading in a few hundred years time!

Edward,
I don't know how important a profile is on this site. Does anyone look at them?
I like what you have done with your emails. I have often wondered who would be able to access them in the future, now our 'letters' are done this way, thinking of my sister-in-law who has been doing her family tree and found a bundle of letters from over a hundred years ago. Sorry, off subject there.
