Hello!
I'm Sketch. How's that for an awkward sounding self introduction?
I was given a link here by a very considerate person and I decided to check it out.
I write. Not professionally as I am not that brave to actually submit my stuff. However, I would love to change that. This is my way of attempting to bond with other writers so that I can not only understand more about writing (because learning is a process that is eternal) but to eventually figure out the publication process.
Books mean a lot to me. The written word can carry hopes, dreams, as well as nightmares. It was through reading that my life has come to mean anything when I was a kid. Perhaps it was through experiences that I read about that I was able to go beyond my own little world. It was through books, I learned empathy. It was through books, the world expanded and took on shape. It was reading that exposed me to so much more than my one traffic light town could ever teach me. (Not that I'm dissing my childhood home, I am not.)
It is my hope that one day I will write something that means something to someone. Even if it was enough of an escape from their own reality so that they could process their own life... that would mean that I have accomplished something.
I don't have the Great Novel sitting within me, just stories.
I am looking forward to knowing you lovely creative people. You are all gifted with the passion for the written word and I would love to know your world.
