I’m brand new to this but I’ve been seeing it advertised everywhere. I’ve been writing poetry for 25 years. I’m now 34. I started when I was 9. I just reached for it, grabbed it & it was mine. I would love to build a community here of poets & poetry, writers, authors, editors, publishers, you name it. I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I can predict what ppl are going to say in their music. Everyone I know tells me to just keep writing. If you’re here to join, welcome. I need collaborators. I need my audience back. I have autistic son I’m currently writing a book to and have been published in several anthologies in the last 20 years. I also have an old pdf manuscript ready for publication at any time. I’m also looking for that here. How long have you been writing?
