Author bio

I am 72 years young and recently got married for the first time on November 25, 2022. in 1994, I signed up for a mail-order course in writing for young adults. The course included a typewriter. I submitted my assignments by mail and got the feedback the same way. I had to discontinue the course after about three assignments. I started reading books and articles on writing.
