Gerri, yes this place can get you hooked. It's happened to me, although got to say it's been rather quiet at the forum lately. I think everyone is out enjoying the sun…and I'll be going out in a minute too.

I've written a book, but it hasn't been published yet. I can just speak from my own personal experience.

They say writing about something you have experienced is the best starter. When I began my book I had no concept or idea where it would lead me. It was a journey within itself. I say just do it. If you are having a good time writing let your hair down and write without correcting or rewriting. Write to your hearts desire. Then let your writing rest a couple of days and read out loud what you wrote. That's when you can rewrite and do corrections.

Have fun, and welcome to the writers world!
