Noticing Newbies

I'm Rebekah, and I've been unofficially writing since elementary school when I started with my first (and pathetically cheesy) poem. Since then, I've been into poetry, lyrics, short stories, editorials and, as of recently, my first attempt at a novel (based on the short story I've already posted here, "The Mediocre" - eta:

).

About me, I lived most of my life in South Louisiana, then two years in Utah before moving to Australia to live near my husband's family. We have 3 boys and a 4th on the way.

I've always dreamed of becoming a writer. And after getting into reading pretty heavily recently, I decided there's no time better than the present. I am hesitant, though, because while I earned college credits toward an English degree, I was never able to finish. And so I'm daunted by the possibility that I don't know enough of the theory to really be any good. But I'm hoping I'll be able to make up for that by reading as much as I can about writing, and also from everyone here.

So yeah, that's a little about me. I look forward to being part of the group and hearing your input:)
