The people

I've only been here a short time. Everyone welcomed me with open arms. I've felt your love for words. I have experienced your stories. Ive seen the encouragement you give others. I have seen constructive critsism, the good kind that helps the writer grow. You all try and help without breaking the writers spirit.

You see, I was on another writing site for a long time. That site was full of critics and critsism. The grammar nazis helped me learn a lot, but not in a constructive way. I stopped writing because I felt like I wasn't good enough at it. One man asked if "I was native to the English langue," that is when I stopped. Well I never really stopped, I just didn't write anywhere anyone could see. Without writing I would be a mess. More of a mess than I already am. I have to write for my sanity and I guess the sanity of everyone I'm around. 

I was talking to a lady I work with and she said her daughter wrote on prose and that I should check it out. I did, and in a short time I've found I love it here with all of you.

I had a person who took the time to teach me a few things. I'm still learning how to write. I have a ton of stories in my head and a strong imagination. I struggle with making it make sense, but every day I'm getting better at it. 

I really love all of your words and how they touch me, but mostly I love that I can just be me, blemishes and all. I feel free here. 

Ps. I love all the creative challenges
