Re: Any writers out there?
      04/07/2008 12:32

Ashbee, I've just found this thread and think it a wonderful idea for likeminded people, who share an interest in writing, to talk to each other. Even if writing is just a hobby or an interest rather than a means of earning a living, does it really matter? I've always enjoyed writing for my own pleasure. When I say 'writing', it might just be jotting down a few thoughts about something or someone - I always have a notebook with me, just in case I need to write something down. I have been working on a short story - something I would like to submit for publication - and also a longer story, perhaps a novella. I work full time and so I don't have a great deal of time to devote to writing, so it is just a hobby at present. Perhaps one day that will change.

Like you Flutterfly, I find that I write better at times of emotional highs or lows - perhaps because everything is seen and experienced more intensely at those times?

To the ladies who have done creative writing courses - did you find that these were useful? I am thinking of doing somethign like that myself, but am not sure.

I hope that this thread continues - it's lovely to know that there are ladies on the forum who enjoy writing and who would like to discuss this with others.
