I've been lurking here for weeks, reading and absorbing and learning so many valuable things. I don't even remember how I stumbled across this site but I'm so glad I did.

A few months ago, I began writing again after a fifteen year dry spell. Well, I owned a business and had three children in those years as well, so it's not as though I wasn't doing anything. I was not, however, writing creatively.

In February, I wrote a collection of short stories for my mother as a gift for her 75th birthday. She loved it (of course, she's my mom!) but I loved writing it too. Since then I've written something every day. I plan to combine a few of these "somethings" into a cohesive story and with all the insight and resources I've found here, I am confident that I can do that!

Not quite! I was a late-in-life, mom-thought-she-was-going-into-menopause-but-whoops!-she's-pregnant baby.

But thanks for the invitation!

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.
