Oct. 26th, 2011 10:19 pmHurrah, I have an account.....what the hell do I do with this thing?
Actually, I could stop posting now. I think the above line summarizes nicely everything going through my head right now. A really long time ago, like 2 decades, 7 years of college, 1 career, 6 kids ago, I really thought I'd spend my life writing fiction and eke out a living that way. Then I took a break. Now I'm back.
I have to say the technology isn't what it was back in 1992 when I was journaling on WordStar at community college. You could key something like 3 pages per post and then it would max out and you'd have to start a new file.
I am not technologically savvy. I haven't figured out these nice functions I'm seeing, like "embed media." I honestly don't know what the difference is between HTML and Rich Text, or whether I have a preference for one versus the other. I am seriously out of touch.
I'm here because I need a place to set down my more recent creative efforts and hopefully get more feedback than I can get from people who are related to me. Family generally aren't interested in one's fiction, I've found. I get a lot of nodding and smiling. Not much else.
That's all for now. I've started, and that was really the only goal for the moment. We'll build on this another time.
