I've been writing on and off since I was a teenager. I have been published in several magazines and worked for a local newspaper for a short time. I quit writing on a regular basis and concentrated on working and raising a family. I am now disabled and unable to work so, I have a lot of free time on my hands. I like to do various crafts but my number one pastime is writing. I joined this site years ago and had quite a few poems in my portfolio but could not remember the username I used so I created another one and hope to have more items for you to read and review soon.
