looking forward to exercising my mind again. hoping that this place and its inhabitants hone a skill i know i have but has been bulldozed by large and small tragedies. oh wait. i think that is called "life." if i could manage to produce one short story, a novella, or perhaps i dare, a novel, i would be most satisfied. i know there is a story in me. it has been clawing at my innards to come out. but it is a monster of incongruence. at present, when i let the beast out for just a peek, it sicks up the most pathetic lumps of drivel.

i am, though, most hopeful that i can find my confidence here.

Welcome Lynn.

I know what you mean about finding that story and expression. Though obvious things like reading about story structure helped, I regularly surprise myself at how critiquing helps my writing; not only am I learning how to strengthen my own writing by analyzing that of others, but I'm also constantly learning how to communicate my message clearly. So the fragments and feedback forums here have been immensely helpful to me. I hope you find something here helpful to you too.

See you around!
