I have been a writer since I was twenty years old and if you include those clumsy poems of my youth you could go back further. Though I am no poet, I do enjoy wiritng stories or articles whenever I have the time. I have never attempted to have my articles or stories published as I never had grammer in school. Believe it or not, it was not taught after elementary school. I hated grammer so I never pursued professional writing. Lately, I have felt called to write so I have decided to take classes from Long Ridge Writers Group to learn (www.breakintoprint.com). It will be fun to see if my writing improves. Lastly, I want you all to know that I was called to go back in the military as well. I am working on the story in order to show how Gods hand was in it all. Briefly, I am 49 and if I had not been sworn in on that date, I would have been too old. Yes, even though I am in the Guard, I will probably be shipped off to Iraq or wherever but that's not in my hands. I look forward to your comments on my writing. Please feel free to be critical as I am here to learn. God Bless
