Welcome! I am also a writer although I must say I haven't written much in a few years. I did just start writing a book recently to help single moms heal from divorce, so that is my project for now. I am dying to write fiction again. I haven't written any since college nearly 20 years ago. I live a mile away from the ocean and I love it. I wish I could see the ocean from my home, but sometimes I can smell the salt air, and it is never too far for me to go sit on a bench by the sea.
Just come here and talk whenever you want. There are always many welcoming people here.
