I am a Writer, wife, mother, and grandmother in my early fifties. I have been writing as long as I can remeber, starting with corny love poems as a child. I've collected books, poems, prose, etc. since then. Up until now the written word has been my hobby while working 9 to 5 and raising a family. Semi retired now, with my empty nest, I decided it was time I look back on my compilation of writings and get serious about publishing. Where do I go from here? Do I finish the book? Should I publish my poetry? How do I blog? It's time I find out what's out there for me to learn. I'm open for criticism and look forward to sharing. So I'm here.
