Getting them published is my next enormous step. Is there a challenge for publishing?

Why do I write what I write?
From the creators of The Insecure Writer's Support Group,
Albert Camus once said, “The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.”
Flannery O’Conner said, “I write to discover what I know.”
SO ← why do I write and tell traditional tales and myths? I write and tell to inform readers and listeners of the other worlds of yesterday and how these worlds affect or effect our world today, changed history, and rewritten for people in power for control of people in a culture.
How we evolve is found in folktales, legends, myths, fables, cautionary tales, fairy tales and epics. My writings warn that these tales change to suit the ones who control the media which can be verbal, written, or filmed. The stories taken and changed from the cultures of primitives, the Hindi, Chinese, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Africans, Egyptians, Mayas, Incas, Mongols, Arabians, English and our American culture. The cultural writers give explanations of what is thought as real at that time and this time.
Reality has the same plots, characters, concerns, fears, and hopes then as now in the analogies of what is seen and heard as evolve by language, and technologies.
Always, beware of whom tells the tales and what is reality is use.

Looking at the 'Working Writer'
I see myself as a working writer, working editor, and working publisher, who is aspired to write and finish projects for others to read and hear. I have a message.
To write is to work words into sentences, then the paragraph, next pages, and into a story, or lecture, or essay. All are literature terms. I am a writer with the skills of plotting, characters, scenes, timing, dialogue, creating mystery, and adventure, which I learned by reading folktales, fairy tales, legends, myths, and fables from all over the world. I lack the training in phonetics and creative writing because my early education was filling in the blanks, which I am excellent. I love to answer questions.
I think 'looking at the working writer' means reading their words, which I hope happens for me and any writer devoting time and efforts to word a novel.
And last, the seeing or hearing of the spoken words from telling a story, which we all do. Some of us interesting; others need to think about the words use and how the listener is receiving their story as do all author.

Folktales linked together create my genre.
On a stage for one to two, hours most storytellers connect their stories by a frame; the stories might have different characters, time, and settings; a novel uses scenes with the same characters. So I use dragon, tiger, anger, and justice through history in stories to relate as we travel on an ancient time path.

Beware, one can enhance, adapt, modify, revision, embroidery, embellish, exaggerate and elaborate traditional tales; they have no copyright. Keep the plot lines; we all know the stories from childhood and enjoy the familiarity.
