Meej

Hello :-)

I have recently re-discovered my love for short story writing. I still fondly remember writing a horror story when I was 5 or 6 and standing on a log and reading it ot my grandparents as we ate a bbq.

I find writing short stories thrills and inspires me. I was studying a creative writing class through my Journalism studies and loved it!

Can't wait to start getting some random topics and writing about it!!

    Hi Meej,
    I have also anly just re-found my love of writing short stories. I had major surgery about 10 years ago, and completely lost all inspiration. Talk about writer's block! I really hope that this site helps me to get my brain working again.
    Good luck
    Pam
