I have always loved to write. Starting with journals in my teens and twenties to being pen pals with my uncle and then, finally, I started my own blog. I only recently decided to see if I could make money with my writing. It is my hope to become a freelance writer and/or blogger in the next 5 years so that I have a little bit of income when my husband and I retire to southern Spain. I am hoping to use this site to get critiques of my writing and then continue to improve. I'm looking forward to reading others' writings as well.
