I began writing as a kid but didn't get much for stories until high school when they offered a written composition for an english class. We wrote lots of stories and I had so much fun. I'd continued writing during college (vo-tech) even though they didn't offer english or lit classes. After college I worked for my old english teacher (cleaning motel rooms while interviewing for a job in my chosen carreer) who was helping get a local writers group going. I missed the first meeting but I've barely missed a meeting since they started 12 years ago. I have one short story published in an online speed-reading course offered to colleges across the world. I've gotten 2 novella's written (30k & 48k) and a 3rd one nearly finished but so far I've not searched for an agent. I'm still learning the novel writing process. And that would be why I'm here. To get feedback on my stories.
Some of my favorite authors include: Laurell K. Hamilton, Kelly Armstrong, Charlaine Harris, LJ Smith (oops she's calling herself LJane Smith because of the football player and the cabinet maker these days), Keri Arthur, Nina Bangs, Terry Brooks, Kate Forsyth, Cate Tiernan, Kim Harrison, oh, there are so many more. They say if you want to make it as a writer, read the greats. Well, these are my greats.
