I have been putting words down on paper for over 10 years.  Characters and stories float around in my head and I begin to type.  I've had a couple of "learn to write" experiences but other than that, I write the way I want to and is easiest for me.  There is only one person in my life that even knows I do this!  Just 1!  Not one soul,  other than me, has read my work, until now, hopefully.  I have over 85 stories on a thumb drive.  Yes, I realize that's crazy but it's the only way I can keep my secret.  Some of my stories have over 300 pages whilst others only 5.  I read and reread my work all the time.  It's an amazing outlet for me and one that brings me joy.  Maybe there are a few people out there that will find my stories interesting or different or entertaining.  Either way, I'm happy to share and thankful for Wattpad!  Thank you for your time.
