Despite the fact that English is not my native tongue, my life's ambition is, someday, to become a "real" writer. If can anyone tell me what the "real" writer means, it will hel me a lot with better focussing on it, though... Last year I was quite actively submitting, mostly, my poems to the list server and was benefitting from the member's generous criticisms. However, my work and study forced me to go "no mail". My native language is Japanese and I need a lot of help from the member on my spelling and grammer. I am a mother of two grown children and I have a life's experience to put it in writing! Looking forward to hearing from you all... ---Junko
