Introducing the Writer in Training

Growing up, I use to draw cartoons. Every character had a hat, and usually there was always a dog, with the head of the best snoopy I could draw. I never did have the conversation bubbles. I created "silent" cartoons. I wasn't into writing much as a child. My interest of wanting to create with pen and paper came to me as an adult. Now I wish I would have had that urge sooner, or had Mary Higgins Clark for a mother.

I joined a writing site a few years ago. I mostly wrote poems...Oh, and just for the record, I'm not to keen on poetry of any style. Writing, or reading poetry, for that matter, just wasn't my thing. Still isn't. I did start a story about my grandparents, but just like the poetry it was short-lived. I discovered blogging. I still have a blog on another site that I started two years ago. I mostly write journal entries. It's been great practice for a writer in training. I was the wannabe (shudders) at first, but as I wrote more and more, and made friends with others writers, I discovered that my desire to be a writer was more than what a wannabe (shudders again) would ever get out of it. I now have two articles online, and write every day. Not only do I write online, but with pen and paper, as well.

English was my best subject in school. You wouldn't know it now. There are so many rules about grammar and style, that I have forgotten over the years. I am hopefull that someday my words will have my readers asking for more.

For now, I am a writer in training.
