Welcome Carolyn, I've been away on vacation and just got back. What a great surprise it was to find you in the forum! I've been writing most of my life, but it's only been in the past few years that I've been doing anything with it. I write feature stories for a local newspaper, freelance. I enjoy writing short stories and poetry more. Since a lot of it ends up online, either in an ezine or on my own website, I like what you said about writing for "free."

I love writing nostalgic stories. I'm in two anthologies (self-published by my writing group)I'm in the slow process of writing my own first book. It will be a collection of essays, poetry and photos - things I remember about growing up in the 50s and 60s.

As soon as I'm unpacked, I'll have lots of questions for you, I'm sure. I plan to visit your website and also to get a copy of Frugal.

Thanks for being with us.
Louisa
