Hello friends. I am a fifty-two year old aspiring writer. Though I have no formal training, I have been working hard to learn the craft. I love to write stories and poetry. My love for writing began as a youngster from a poor family. To keep myself entertained I developed a passion for reading. I would lose myself in the many books I read. That love has remained with me to this day. I am currently working on a novel while doing some freelance writing, and working on my grammar skills. I am of the belief that one is never too old to learn, or pursue ones dreams.I am happy to be a part of Writing.com.
