Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a pen pal. In school I was connected with a girl in England. We exchanged two letters, then the price of stamps went up and I never heard from her again.
I was happily surprised to discover a site for adults wanting pen pals. Nothing sexual or crazy. Just people who like to hear from people in other parts of the country or world.
I have two pen pals so far. One in Kentucky, and the other in Chile. Any writer knows it is a lonely job, so having several people to write to at any hour of the day or night is fun.
I just finished reading all the way through my book, Thicker Than Water, and I am basically happy with it. I do want to change some parts where I can probably do more "showing" instead of "telling." I recently sent in my query letter for a critique. That is the hardest thing for me to write. Keep your fingers crossed!
About Me
- Linda Peters
- Hello Readers! My name is Linda and I am a 23-year-old woman in a 50+ year-old body. I have decided to pursue a life-long dream of mine - becoming a published writer! It seems like everyone these days is younger than I am, and at times it can be pretty intimidating. I remember a story I saw where a man in his 80's had earned his first degree after he was 60. He now holds several degrees and still tries to take a class every semester. He believes you are never too old to learn. I agree! I love this quote from W.H. Murray's "The Scottish Himalaya Expedition:" "...the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too...raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."
