Subject: INTRO: Jill Hoshor Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 09:09:00 -0500 Dear Listers, I have lurked a few days, enjoying all, I am Jill Hoshor, living in Central Ohio now - I hain't published a thing - would like to write, tho I'm just a beginner. To prove my ability to take huge leaps of direction, my initial plan was to write a novel for adolescent girls - one with "fantasy" characters that were heroic - I already knew the characters, the story and the context - but for some reason, when I finally said to myself -GO FOR IT - I "practiced" with contemp characters and for some reason, I got thinking and plotting a novel about contemporary Washington DC - well more 80's DC actually it is turning out - but ya know, I think I had C-Span on in the background too much. So there you are. Just wanted ya all to know I was lurkin and lovin and don't know what I'm doin. Wanted to know who all was doin a contemp thing. Anybody out there doin any 60's stuff? - I may need to regress my people back to that time. Thought It'd be interesting to hear from ya - and meanwhile, I wanted to let all you regular "listers" that you make me feel real good about being nuts - you've proved to me that I'm in good company. I'll be here, Hoshor {*}{H}{O}{S}{H}{O}{R}{*}{H}{O}{S}{H}{O}{R}{*}{H}{O}{S}{H}{O}{R}{*} hoshor@greenapple.com "...and we started out to conquer doubt and Frisbee..." ** * * * * * * ***** * * * * * * * ** ** ** *** *** ** *** ** *** *** * **** ** * *** * ** *** * * ** * ** * * * * * ****** ** ** ** ** * * *** * * * * * -Gin Blossoms- ***
