Hi, I've been driving friends and family crazy about my WIP and I think it's time to try to talk to some other people who are actually interested in writing. I am a songwriter, composer, musician (piano, guitar, bass, drums and vocals), and a poet. I've had a few articles published in special interest magazines over the years, but have only in the past year found myself seriously writing a novel. Since I started writing, I have undergone an unusual artistic awakening that I haven't experienced in many years, and it's truly been an exciting experience, although it's often a lonely experience. I've always been inclined to create, but I've been on fire lately. Anyway, I'm not much of a talker, so I probably won't post willy-nilly, but I will lurk quite a bit, and there will be times when I'll need to ask questions or get something off my chest. I already have something on my mind, so I'll be off to one of the other subforums. I look forward to getting to know you.
