Hi,

I've been lurking for a few weeks and thought I might as well jump in and get my feet wet. I live in North Texas about 20 miles from where the wildfires raged a few weeks ago.

I've been "writing" stories since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I fell in love with Romance Novels when a friend slipped me Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught in high school. I wrote a lot in high school but let life get in the way after I got married and had three kids.

In the past few years I have rediscovered my passion and decided to try my hand at writing once again. My family is tolerant but not very supportive of my efforts which at times is discouraging.

Finding this sight has been very uplifting for me. It is encouraging to read what other writers have to say, not just what they have written. Did that even make sense?

Anyway... :hi:

The good thing for you, Cherry, is that everyone here is very supportive. Glad to see you back on the horse, and welcome!

Welcome Cherry Cordial. I'm new to this site as well. And I'm in the same boat when you said about your family not being really supportive. I hope we find the support we're looking for here.

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.
