Hello from Canada

Hello Folks,

I'm new to Writer's Forum. I've been a technology writer since the early 1980's, and I also write personal essays, but now that I'm retired, in my early 60's, I'm attempting to write fiction for the first time in my life. I'm starting with short pieces -- short stories and fragments -- but I have a couple of novels in mind and am doing a little plotting on them.

I reside in Port Credit, Ontario, just outside Toronto.

I do a lot of my writing at my local Starbucks, using an AlphaSmart Neo or a Palm TX with wireless keyboard.

Gene
