I read about this group when I was looking through this FAQ on USENET about mailing lists. This list sounded like fun! I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I think that might be as far back as seven or eight. My sister used to read over my writings and always say to me that I should try and be published. I never did think I could write all that well and I have been too shy to share anything I wrote until recently. I hope I can share my writings with you all. They are mostly autobiographical because I think that you write best about what you already know. I am really a very private person. I never showed anyone my work before except my sister. But now that she is gone, I have summoned the courage and gumption to break out my shell and see if I really have what it takes to become a writer. So if I stumble or stutter a little (over e:mail, ha ha!), please forgive. Thank you for reading!
