I was reasonably old (in my 40's) when I posted my first story. It scared the daylights out of me to post what I had written and let others see it. Believe me I know what it's like. Well I only have 48 or so here so... Good night and keep reading.
As a side note, when I come across good stories I'll recommend it to any I can. If you come across ones you like let me know. I'll take a look and if I like it, I'll suggest them to my followers.
