*stands* Hi, my name is Linda, I'm 41, and I live in Utah. Each morning when I sip my coffee on the porch, I have the privilege of watching the sun climb over the Rocky Mountains. Most mornings, the sky is a kaleidoscope of pinks and gold, and each sunrise is different. I have the best view in town. I've never written anything in all earnestness until last year. I still don't think it's too late to pick up a hobby and perhaps turn it into something more.

EBelt here. It seems that you're not on too often, which I will admit makes me a bit sad being somewhat late to the "tea party." But that's okay. I write and (sort of) world build mainly for my pleasure. Even if I sometimes find myself to be somewhat better at editing and critiquing works than actually writing, I still write way more than I edit and critique. Speaking of writing I have been writing for about 2-3 years consistently now, and I have been having fun editing a work of mine as of right now. And I saw your other discussion board "Tips for the Writer" and if you still want I would love to help you write/edit your book.
