Hello! Thank you for having me here!I live in New Jersey. I am very much in the beginner stage of creation. I have wanted to write for many years now but have been held back by so many limiting beliefs. Whether it's an astrological shift or the fact that I'll be in my late 50s on my next birthday, which is coming up in September, I've decided I don't really have time for limiting beliefs anymore. I keep going around in my head on whether I want to write short stories, essays, or novels. I know I don't have to limit myself, it's just a matter of figuring out where to start. I suppose I'll say for now, that at this point next year, I'd like to have at least one short story and essay in publishable condition as well as have at least an outline, if not a draft, of a novel in progress. Although, I'm not an artist (I can't even draw a believable stick figure), I'd like to pick up some pastels, watercolors, or something like that to just play around with and experiment with colors -not to put up for sale anywhere, just for me. I'm sorry this is so long!

Also, music and art (appreciation for both, I am neither a musician nor an artist).
