Hi!!

I happened upon this board while searching the internet for writing groups. I'm just starting out trying to rediscover the creativity I had about 20 years ago. I seem to have misplaced it somewhere.

Just finished writing a dissertation (not in anything related to writing, English, reading, literature, etc.) and decided I wanted to do something for me. So, I'm here just reading and trolling, trying to get some good advice. I've really only ever written technical papers, so this should be an interesting challenge!

Working on story #1.

Thanks for all the welcomes! I just finished the first draft of what I think will be Chapter 1!!! Honestly, I can't believe I've gotten this far. I've been writing technical research papers for so long, I forgot I had an imagination. :)

Hello and Welcome. I know how you feel I am doing the same thing. Having kids can really make you forget about yourself. I am just getting into writing again as well and I a loving every second on it. This is a great place to inspire you.
