Greetings, Writing.com world. I have joined this phenomenal forum to read plenty of works by other aspiring and experienced writers. I am in the process of putting together my first fiction novel and look forward to post parts of it soon for feedback. I am amazed by the plethora of resources and talent showcased here. As an educator at the university level, I look forward to participate in the many ways in which the writing community here engages in an inspiring and powerful exchange of ideas about the matters that make us put pen to paper or fingertips to keyboard as it were.
