Hello contributors and silent onlookers, my name is Jayne and I've just started writing (if I ever take up alcoholism, I think I'll do quite well at the recovery meetings based on that intro). Well, I say I've just started writing, but if I'm honest I've been creating bits of poetry and prose here and there since I was a child. Now that my kids have left school, I find that I have a little more time to dedicate toward creating an actual body of work, and perhaps even the crazy notion of getting something published. I look forward to contributing, but mainly to looking at all (or as many as I can cram in) of your different thoughts, posturings, knowledge, experiences and literary creations. Thanks for the skim-read and I hope to get to know you all a bit better soon.
