Back into writing after a long hiatus. Years ago I wrote a lot, mostly sci-fi, but got discouraged and gave it up. Going back and reading stuff I wrote then, I can see why. I always enjoyed writing, and having recently retired from a short career in software development, I may have more time for it now.
I also like to read, averaging about fifty books a year, some sci-fi but also mysteries, legal thrillers, spy novels, adventure stories, whatever looks good. I tend to like the popular authors. I've had quite a few other hobbies over the years, most involving cars, planes, or boats, but the only one I still enjoy today, besides writing, is cycling.
Five years ago I built a car, which got me started on a blog, which got me back into writing. I think putting together 500-1000 words every day for a couple of years improved my writing skills a little, so I'm more encouraged now. I look forward to reading others' work here and hope to learn a few things.
