Hello, my name is Angie. I am 39 years old and have been writing most of my life. It has always been my private hobby, poetry and short stories. I have never had the guts to turn any of my writing into a publisher or even in a contest. I am hoping that by coming to Writing.com, I will be able to overcome the anxiety and finally see where my writing "habit" may take me. I am very glad to be here!!
