The chances, as always, are 1 in 1,000,000. If regular people from small towns, or even big towns, like Miley Cyrus, can make it big- you could do the same. The chances are up to you, and if you don't try, you'll never get close.
Miley got it because she kept at it, and really wanted to be famous and be able to do acting and singing. If you don't really want to keep at what you are doing, and you don't want to try more, then nothing ever will happen. The key to being famous is trying, and without trying, today's stars are nothing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
