Hi All!!
I can't tell you how happy I am to have found all of you! I could really use a reality check. I thank you in advance for your feedback.
My name is Leslie, 39 yo divorced mom of 1, just outside of Pittsburgh. The roller coaster of my life has landed me obsessed with wanting to write about what I've learned first hand, and through keen observation, of the effects we have as parents on our children's lives. I've begun, but writing at great length is somewhat difficult for me physically, as I live with horrible daily headaches. But I just can't get all the ideas to stop playing in my mind. I have such passion, I feel like I want to shout it from the rooftops...and at the bus stop! But the mom's I know aren't too open to constructive criticism face to face. So I want to put it into print.
So before I continue on my keyboard journey, is it even possible that someone with no experience might just get published?? I'd appreciate the feedback before I continue all the work. All through high school I wrote for pleasure (and for extra credit when I was naughty) and my mentor told me for years that I should write. I was almost an English major in college, but anatomy, biology and nursing stole my heart.
I may write just to get it out. Strong opinions and conviction and a stubborn Irish personality just may force me to finish.
So, here I am. Again, thanks for being here. You can not imagine how thrilled I am to have found you all!
Much love,
Leslie
