I'm in my mid-70s and live on a farm in Upstate New York. I've been writing since I was a young girl and always dreamed of being an author. I did once win a poetry contest and had another poem published. Although I'd still love to write a novel and have it published, I'm content to write for my own pleasure. I'm an avid journal keeper and I hope that my children and grandchildren may read some of my writing and learn a little about me and what it was like to grow up as a middle class American girl during the early 1950s and up to the current time. I've seen, learned and experienced many things during my lifetime that someone may be interested in reading about.
