Hello All,
my name is 4misty1. Glad to meet you.I was here a couple of years
ago but got out because I felt that I did not posses the expertise or ability to write as would be expected of you.But Now I am back. I have completed my manuscript. I have to type it but will be looking for someone at some point to edit it for me so that the spelling, and all that would be needed will be right in order to at least give me a chance to have my work viewed. It is a memoir of my life. I lived in what was known as the Infamous Robert Taylor Homes(projects) shootings, killings, gang rapes it all ran the gambit in my years there. What I am hoping for is to educate people of all races that everyone wasn't as projected as the outside society said it was. Nor do I want it to be published as African American specifically. It is about live and how the power of survival makes the will to live just that more important. So, I'll need a little help. Please, all of you that know how to help me in my journey feel free. I am open to all, for help. Thank You :)

Its a learning process, that none of us will truly master :) but there is always room to improve! Hello, I'm new too, so I can't say much about the community other than they seem very welcoming :)

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hi 4misty1, Welcome to the AW Water Cooler. It sounds like you have a great story to tell about something much more important than those of us who are just making stuff up.

All the best.

Kit
