I just signed up a few minutes ago.  I've been a writer at heart all my life.  I write poetry, mostly, but have also attempted short stories. I also have several blogs online at Blogger.  I ran across an old story I started years ago, and I feel like it might have some potential to be more.  Well, I'm retired, and have too much time on my hands, so this phase of my life just might be the time to make my life-long dream of becoming a published author, come true.  I hope so, anyway.
