October, 2002 Research, research, research. I needed to find more conferences and workshops to go to. The information presented was helpful and I need more. I get books on grammar because I need to go over the basics. I sign up and take an Writer's Digest online class--Descriptive Writing. I jotted down sketches of all the stories I could think of. Came up with 9. Then I selected one to start with. I'm official.
