Noticing Newbies

The weather has been frigid, looking for some relief soon I hope. The classes I'm preparing to take involve visual arts, painting and sketching which has been an attraction to me for a while now so I copy local paintings to practice and train my eyes to paint or sketch what I see so far. I have yet to work on a story, I do have titles however so fairly soon I will be posting a part of the story for any feedback. I am open indeed. I am taking my time with this site because it does seem like a lot however its just what I needed to stumble upon. Thanks for the welcome and your offer to help, it does make a difference with a new site like this and I will be sure to take the time to review other people's submissions. I'm interested in writing Christian books, novels, memoir, short stories.
