Hello all! It’s good to see the forum is working. I found this site just the other day, during what turned out to be a brief period of electronic turmoil. It was a little rough trying to figure out how to use the workshop but I seem to be muddling along for the moment.
Calling myself a writer is a tad bit presumputous, but hey, everyone has to start somewhere. I’m fully employed in a very different career, but I’ve had grand ambitions of writing for a long time. Writing of a different sort than I occassionally do at my job, which has been described as “clear and concise” on more occassions than I can count. I’ve dabbled a bit here and there. I’ve had the most success with poetry, probably because poems are relatively short, much like my attention span.
I did submit a very, very short entry to the “Life” category. I am trying to make some sort of commitment to getting these ideas out of my head and onto electronic media. I realize that I need practice writing shorter items before I delve too deeply into the elusive “Great American Novel”. Lots of ideas, just a shortage of time.
