      I’ve gone away from typing and I do more handwritten first draft of a scene first, then I take it and type it up. I do some editing while I’m typing. So I count the pages that I write.

        Hello there. I loved the 2YN class when I took it with zette. I made some great friends, too. As for some writing exercises, you might want to check the FM Story Generator. If you scroll up you’ll find the link for it. I’ve come up with several story ideas from using it.

          I’m really sorry to hear about the diagnosis. I hope they have helped you with a treatment plan. Take it slow.

          Sometimes real life makes it hard to write or create any form of art. That’s when we learn how to overcome and move on in the direction we feel we need to be in. It’s a day to day situation. Good luck and I hope you check out the chat rooms as well. Great supportive folks hang out there. If you have any questions about the new site, please ask.

            Hello and welcome to the site. That’s awesome that you can juggle both single parenthood, a demanding job and write. I undestand about not having too many people that you can talk with about writing.

            Have a look around and be sure to check out the chat rooms. I’m also sorry I’m so late with my welcome to you.

                      Welcome to the site! As others have said, Roving Critique Board is a great place to start out. I’ve seen many groups form because the members began to know each from the board. Good luck with your writing.

                        Hello there and welcome back. The old site is still up at this time, but of course it might just vanish without warning. Perhaps you can find it:

                          Hello and welcome to Forward Motion! I suggest trying out the Roving Critique Board with your opening and exchanging critiques. Also by critiquing others, it helps to tighten up your skills for writing as well.

                          Have a look around the site and if you have any questions, please ask.
