When I first joined this website I was just beginning to pursue my writing career. This community has been awesome acting as a pilot audience. Alot has happened between then and now. I have been blessed with my own newspaper column, complete with picture, and by- line just like the big boys! Writing.com has helped to give me the courage to keep my nose to the grindstone and to simply WRITE ON! Thank you so much for your honest critiques good and bad.
