Hi, I'm Lois44. I haven't been to this writing site in quite sometime. I did enjoy it while I was here before, and hopefully I will recognize some of you still. I've had some illnesses that prevented me from continuing with my writing. I write for the pure joy and need of putting words on paper as I deal with things in life. Some things I write is poetry, and other times I write short stories. I understand that many of you have been published before, and some of you are writing books. So, I look forward to having this space where I can put my thoughts down in some kind of form that I can return to and find them waiting for me.
