My name is Steven My membership here is thanks to a friend that pointed me here when she heard I was looking for a Zen-like activity to deal with stress and to exercise long-dormant creativity. Thanks for the tip, Heather, we'll see where this leads. I've written a few short stories, nothing more than several paragraphs long. I have a few elevator pitches for larger projects, though, and hope to get pointers on how to proceed with them while I'm here. I'll be writing mostly stream-of-consciousness, with little editing. My initial goal is to fuel creativity, not get published. Feedback to help me become a better writer is welcomed.
