Hi - just a little about me

Hi. My real name is Jo, but my partner calls me Ditzy Doris - because, well, I can be pretty Ditzy 'sometimes'. I am new to writing, although in my teens I was an avid reader and writer, but then marriage and kids took over and I didn't write at all for twenty years. So, I am in the process of re-awakening my brain and have started a Blog. I am from the UK and now live in Spain (since last October), so feel I now have something to write about. I joined this Forum to hopefully get some inspiration, encouragement and constructive criticism to help improve my writing for my Blog and maybe write that novel that I just know is inside!

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Thank you for your warm welcome. I really hope I can be confident enough to join in lots of the forums. I feel like such a newbie though - not just to the forum but to the whole writing thing. So I will lurk a bit and join in when I can, and try not to make a fool of myself too much.
