Welcome to disABILITY Writers group! Hope you like it here, taylianna.
I am on Submittable, trying to get my name out there. Anyway, I need a decent bio for most submissions. This is what I have and it reads like crap. Critique the heck out of please. I have thick skin, so don't worry about hurting my feelings.


My name is First-Name Last-Name and I am a mother of three tenacious boys. I have dreamed of being a writer my entire life, often creating nonsense stories as a young child to actually learning the craft as a teen and now fine tuning it. While it is true that I write, therefore, I am a writer, to see my work published—chosen—would be absolutely amazing. Not only would this validate all the work I have put into honing my craft (I am still, and forever will, be honing and learning), but it would also be something I could show my boys. To teach them that dreams can come true if you work hard for something.
At a quick glance - you repeat yourself - 'honing' and 'learning' 'something' all stand out. I don't see anything that says what you write now, or any suggestion as to your style.

"Despite being the mother of three tenacious? (why tenacious and how is it relevant?) boys, I write regularly (daily? if so say so). I'm looking to get published because I believe my writing deserves a wider audience. Generally I produce.... (short stories - poetry - articles whatever it is that is relevant here) with an average word count of xxxxx I'd describe my style as...

If I was published, it would also be something I could show my boys. To teach them that dreams can come true if you work hard enough."

Hope this helps a little - please ignore anything or all of it as required.
They always want the third person. So, First name Last name is a mother of three etc. Good luck.
What are you trying to say with tenacious?

Normally, one must seek out Trinkets in order to collect them (and, to be completely transparent, applicable offerings were made available in the Community Newsfeed). However...when I saw that your NaNo Counter indicated nearly 37% completion - on Day One! - I just had to send you this:

.

WOW - way to go!

Thank you so much! I am hoping to reach 120k words this year, so I am really having to double down on my writing time. This trinket means a lot to me. I really appreciate it!!!
I don't know who did it or why, but someone gifted me a 6 month membership anonymously. I just want to thank you. You will never know how much I appreciate it! Thank you so very much!

Now taylianna, the ball's in your court. Put it to good use and write, Write, WRITE! *BigSmile*
I struggled, but obviously didn't work hard enough. I will not reach 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo. :(
One of these days, I WILL be published, and then I will get an upgraded account here. Until then, I keep moving forward. As of right now, I need to fix my timeline. At least I am only 5 chapters in. I just don't know how I managed to screw it up so bad. Oh well, its a learning process.
Getting stuck sucks. I know where I want to go, but I can't seem to get on the right path. And the worst part is, its a character name for a chacter whose name isn't needed yet. Why am getting stuck on a name I don't even need yet?
