Hi. I'm someone who has been writing since I was a child. I'm 65 now, the Elder Crone of my username. In my writing life I have most experience in business/work related stuff, academic research, and such, including my doctoral dissertation. My experience in the more creative parts includes a published, prize winning short short (contest entry), a prize winning poem, and a couple of graduate courses in creative writing. I have taught college-level composition, remedial writing, and I worked as a tutor in a college writing center. Now, I want to write fiction and poetry, but I'm a real newbie in fiction.
