I'm another oldster ... 47 years ... but I feel about 12. I've wanted a writing career since I was a kid, and finally have made up my mind to make that happen this year. (I've been a copy editor and proofreader, mostly.) Now I'm writing an upmarket women's novel, I'm working on breaking into freelance magazine writing (NF), and I post to four different blogs.

Till now I'm been in my own bubble, not getting out much, but have been delighted to find forums like this, other writers' blogs, even Twitter (never would have thought I'd be there!). What a wonderful world. I'm looking forward to learning my way around this site and becoming part of the community.

Trish

Hi, Trish. A pleasure to meet you. I lived in Arizona for many years and still dream I'm living in the Sonoran desert now and then, even though it's been a lot of years since that's been true.

Maryn, who got rained on a little today, just to prove it

Hi Trish, I had to look up "upmarket" in my dictionary. Learned a new word. Great! I am a new fish too. ;-)

I'm also a bit reclusive. Not sure if I would recognize my next door neighbors if I saw them at the grocery store. And I've had the same neighbors for 15 years!
Welcome!

Welcome! As soon as I saw your thread posting, the song Arizona by Jamie ONeal came to mind... now it's stuck in my head... thanks, lol. :)

"There is no... Arizona, no painted deserts..." Great. Seriously stuck in my head. *Sigh*
