Anyone else have the of becoming a published author?

I am about to finish my third novel, but none have been published.

I have one complete novel, (not published), and am working on my second. A research paper I did was used in a textbook exclusive to the college I graduated from in 2012.

I have a book in print, honored position in a few anthologies, publications in periodicals as well

Dream?

Well, I'm writing a novel but it's not done yet and plus I'm struggling to raise money for it.

I toy with the idea but don’t have the guts yet. What about you?

I have always wanted to. Just can't think of an original idea.

I've been published in anthologies and journals.
