Hello all, I have just joined this forum. I have always loved writing and dreamt of being a writer since I was a child. Prior to having my son, ten years ago, I wrote short stories and pieces, and was planning a novel. Then, along came my son, and with juggling family life/ work, writing had to go on the back burner. Over the past year, I have been trying to get my brain back up to speed; reading lots and trying to write again. It's a slow process, mainly because of time constraints, but I feel that I may want to share some of my writing for constructive criticism, in the near future. Really looking forward to being part of this forum. Dot.
