OT: Guess what?

Guess I wasn't because I haven't heard of that site.

I am a writer 'of old'.  In college I actually won a certificate of merit in a nation short story competition.  That was the one and only time I share my writing. So maybe there is hope, realistic hope.  I don't know if I can emotionally 'unload' this pent up book in 30 days though!  Probably cause a mental breakdown?

No wonder I find you are such a great lady- I relate to your wavelength.  I haven't ever explored local writing groups- I am sure they would exist. Mainly don't feel confident to go and share.  Sometime there are night community courses for writing- I might try that avenue. Plus I am sure they know all about publishing... or at least more than I do!

I know what you mean about poetry. Some of my poetry from bad times in my life is so depressingly dark and personal that anyone reading it would call for a white coat.

Thanks for sharing that info!

yes, my degree completion program had a creative writing class, and that is where i hooked into others who also wanted to get together and share.  I have not written in many moons. i used to carry tiny notebooks and write down storylines and ideas, never pulled it together.
