New here

Greetings and Salutations (that dates me),

I'm new here, but not a new writer. I was even, once upon a time, in an MFA program. I got the MA, then some pretty bad stuff happened, and I stopped reading and writing creatively for a long time. But I didn't stop writing. Instead, I got a doctorate and wrote and published academic stuff, which was great fun for a while.

Then some bad stuff happened in that realm, and after some life-living and figuring I ended up here, digging out pages and pages of a few unfinished novels from the deep dark recesses of my computer that are so old they were written in WriteNow, a completely obsolete Mac word processing program.

So, I'm opening a new page in my life which will hopefully put me back on the path I abandoned 20 years ago, as well as send me in new directions.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this all takes me.

Cheers!

Where'd I go?

Thanks for asking. It's been a little weird reading the old stuff. Alot of it's really quite good. I knew at the time I was a good writer, and had been told that by many, but much of that confidence got lost in the shuffle. I'm kind of hoping I can resurrect that talented young writer and give her some wisdom.
