TASK: We want to learn about your writing journey and what led you to WDC? Poem, short story, blog entry, notebook post - your choice. My writing journey started when I was a kid. In the 1970's I would watch this show called "The Electric Company" and then after watching the Spiderman part, I'd try to make Spiderman comic books. As a Teen in the 1980's I started reading comic books. A LOT of them (and I'm a firm believer reading leads to writing). I wrote my own superhero comics. At first I was a sucky drawer but by the time I was a senior in high school, my drawing really got better. I also wrote a comedic series based on the Runaways (with Joan Jett, Lita Ford and Cherrie Currie). Once I got into into the Army, I wrote "Destination: Berlin." You can find it in my port. In the 1990's I wrote the "One Life To Live" satire with a pen name of "Dim Witt." In the early 2000's I started writing Fan Fiction. I wanted to write for publication but I wasn't quite there. My friend, Starr Phenix   found writing.com and said I should join. She told me about all the things Writing.com could offer a budding writer so I joined, and honestly I feel that being on Writing.com has really honed my writing skills. I joined WDC in April 2005. I believe I was made a moderator in NOV 2006. I've got a lot of stuff in my port from novels to short stories to poetry, exploring different genres and styles. I've also worked hard on my self-editing skills. During the aughts, I had several short stories place in the Writer's Digest Annual contest and you can find several of those stories here in my port. One of them is:
In 2010 I had my first contract for a small press with Desert Breeze, shortly there, I was contracted for short story anthologies with Victory Tales Press. They both went out of business in 2018, and I've been working on self-publishing my stories ever since. Big shout out to kudos for Writing.com. I couldn't have accomplished all I have in the writing world without you! |
