Hi ladies,
I'm Janice, a 42 year old writer/mom, and I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done for me. You don't even know what you did, you never heard of me before this very minute, but after reading through many of the previous posts on subjects like writing later in life, organization as a viable option, and common blasts from our pasts, I feel very encouraged! I'm attempting to set up shop here at home, writing about the womens' issues with which I have had personal experience, like sexual abuse, eating disorders, depression, motherhood, dieting, marital bliss and unbliss, and faith. I am so looking forward to being here, and getting to know you even more! Have a nice weekend! [Smile]

Hi Janice and welcome to Dotsie's wonderful, supportive Forum. There is a wealth of information here, and "instant friends" too willing and able to help with just about anything.

Best of luck with the writing....and again - nice to "meet" you! [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

bluerose, soemtimes posts get buries and we have to resurrent them. I think that's waht happened to this one. We have lots of posts in this forum so you have to check back sometimes.

I'm so glad you're here. Please ask away and we'll do what we can to encourage and support you with your new writing endeavors.

There are TONS of great sites for writers. Please visit the Links page on this site and you are sure to be enocuraged by them.

Also, if you're loking for book on writing, visit the Recent Reads page on this site. I highly recommend all of them except, Get Your First Book Published. It was good, but the others are much better! Sorry, just being honest.

By the way, I started writing again at 50. I have just self published my first book. It was self published so my Dad could see that I had fulfilled HIS dream of being a writer. He passed away suddenly one week before I received the first 5. It was a secret. I know he knows about it right now, and he is so proud!!

He took a little chapbook that I had written with him nearly everywhere he went for months so he could "show" people what his daughter had written.

Keep plugging away.

Sherri

Sherri, indeed your Dad is "proud from afar" of your book.....I know mine is too! I also didn't really get serious about my writing until after age 50 - just proving the point that it's NEVER too late to pursue a dream...... [Wink] [Wink]
