A few months ago, I was moved to read an article that talked about several online writing forums. I must admit, I didn’t often read the newsletters.

A pen and paper were all I needed to create fun and games. As a child I was fascinated with communication. Since I was very young, I have wanted to be a professional writer. ![]()
