I wrote on and off in middle school and high school for a few years before I joined the United States Air Force.  Even in the military I dabbled in writing.  After my six year enlistment was over, I discovered a writing correspondence course.  Long Ridge Writer's Group.  I took the course and the constant challenge of coming up with a new story idea made me realize just how much I love to write!  I have so many ideas and so many characters awaiting birth that I will never in my life be bored!
