My thing is I had good experiences in creative writing classes back in college, but then life happened and I've struggled to stay in the habit ever since. I think what was missing was that sense of community. Now years later I'm longing to recover that creative part of myself. It's probably just a midlife crisis. Anyway, not looking for a career in writing, but simply to be among writers and their practice, give & receive feedback, and generally leech off the energy here. It's not that I'm against getting published someday - that would be fun - but it's more about writing toward a better quality of life. You know? Interested in all fiction, from literary to genre and all the blurry lines in between. I love sci-fi and fantasy. I'm a huge nerd. So yeah. Hi!
howdy. check out the writing contest sections for good writing prompts, if you need an idea. most of us get back into writing when our lives slow a little; we go back to that thing we longed to do.
