    Hope to get involved

    I am a writer/editor in the Midwest who writes mostly poetry, children's novels and memoir. I have background in English, academic editing, writing educational materials and secondary-school teaching, but I think I mostly like writing poems about living in the Midwest and the great prairie beauty that is here. I have about eight children's novels in various stages of revision, and am currently working on my first book of poems that I hope to submit for publication consideration. I have published before in "Literature and Belief" and won first prize in a local poetry competition, and I take regular creative writing classes so I can continue to develop my skills. My goals are to develop further as a writer and, hopefully, to someday have a book published.

    Welcome to the forums! Stick around!
    "If you're paddling down the road in a canoe with four flat bananas at 97 kph, then how many pancakes does it take to shingle a doghouse?" asked Professor Garrett. When the class hesitated to answer, he continued, "Well, the answer is blue, because ice cream has no bones."
