Greetings and welcome to writing.com!

Well, this is different: an unfinished story written as a personal anecdote. I love the old-fashioned style, and it feels like you're setting up for a fine yarn with lots of potential for character development and amusing adventures.

Perhaps one thing I'm most curious about is: is this biographical or fictional? If biographical, then you look to have had a long and interesting life. If fictional, it's always fun to write about past eras, childhood and coming of age. I don't know how long or short this will be, or what themes you'll be working with, but I have a few general suggestions as you move forward.

One, you should pick three relevant genres for your item when it's done. This helps get your item in front of the biggest audience of people browsing and also helps give as many opportunities as possible for Quill Award nominations.

Two, you should also pick out a nice cover art for the item to help it stand out among the others. (Also, don't forget to set off paragraphs in your final work *Smile*)

Three, you should learn about our proprietary markup language, which you can use to enlarge the font size and style. Our help document is "Writing.Com 101" Open in new Window., and you can also click on "Writing.com Tools" in the left sidebar and then "WritingML: Docs and Help." I like putting {size:4}{font:Verdana} at the beginning of all items to set it at the best and easiest reading experience for all abilities and devices.

I greatly look forward to reading this when it's complete. You can always make it private while you work on it, so people don't pester you with "advice" - not that they will, this is a pretty laid-back site.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *HeartT*
