I am married with a Russian woman, have two young daughters. I am working as a computer and network administrator. Since I learned to read, I have been dreaming of writing stories, and I have tried many times. But I gave it up soon because all my writing looked very bad and I couldn't understand how to improve my writing. It was not until I got connected to the Internet for a little over 1 year ago and found writing classes at Spectrum Virtual University and this mailing list I begun to understand the technique how to do it. I am still learning but I like to believe I have improved, but I am writing because I am thinking it is fun. But I dream that perhaps someday I will be able to write well enough so that I can get something published. I big thank you for those who were kind enough to give me information about query letters and correcting my grammar. I am taking a class called "Writing for Publication" at Spectrum VU and to my surprise the proposal for my science fiction story was accepted. So I will be busy writing the next weeks. After that I hope to be able to make some critique and suggestions on your writings. Thank you for a very good and interesting list.
