I am a retired woman 72 years. I discovered writing at college when I was 50. Kept busy with writing for fun at work. I worked with disabled individuals. One gentleman inspired me to do poetry as he had been writing for years. Together we wrote fun and serious poems. Hopefully I wasn't wasting my time. I have lived a long and interesting life. I didn't make it big financially nor become famous I chose to be in the background and try to help others succeed. I write mostly of childhood memories and humorous fictional stories. No novels-. I just want someone to read my writing and laugh or cry or be bored. thank you Velva
