Hi hug,
i know i read ur post last time, but couldnt comment then. for me, writing is a real need, in that i have been writing to family mostly while still in grade school and thru the yrs, but due to internet, the use of the usual snail mail type of writing has kind of been forgotten. for those who do that now however, they know abt the patience it takes to write and rewrite on paper, and mail and wait for a reply in a week or so again. neither am i a blogger or learned to be one after all these yrs, but let me encourage u because i think it is one of the most creative but not so demanding hobbies, or jobs would u call it... that is, unlike interests or careers in music for example, u need instruments and some real training unless ur that gifted, and when it becomes ur career, u do need to practice and perform and a hundred and one demands, or if in the arts or acting, etc. u need paint supplies, props, whatever-).
writing demands that u read of course, and make lots of drafts, so if u need someone to comment or edit to some extent, i can help by pm. as agent implied, u cannot help getting both good and slightly hurtful criticism once in a while and u never know. because even the bettter writers had to get all those corrections and rewriting before they published, and the printed work isnt even still perfect. i beg ur pardon, tho, i volunteer to read for u and help, but when i post it isnt the best either. thats because i do not want to stay long online, but sometimes i do have to. i post even w.o having my post edited, bec. as i said i have to get out of here quick! but if i can print some stuff and do them under a tree or just outdoors and not in a laptop too-- i would. so if u still want to write, just do. grammar is basic to many, and would not even believe u if u had those mistakes, but even the best writers have editors who improved on their writings after they have put their best ideas down. God bless ur plans and thoughts.
