Hi, ladies. Thank you for replying! I hope you both had a good Thanksgiving! We had a really good Thanksgiving at our house.

@finsallystrong, I had no idea you suffered from something like that. You don’t have to do anything drastic. Maybe you could take baby steps though by talking to one or two people at a time. It doesn’t have to be anywhere public if you’re not ready, but in the comfort of your own house. What are your short term or long term goals for writing and traveling? Just follow a mantra or talk to someone if you haven’t already about your adversities. It may seem daunting, but it will be worth it at the end.

@Janice I like doing poetry on occasion, and right now I’m writing one book. I wrote a lot of poetry through middle and high school and won 2nd place for a poem. I’m hoping that the book I’m working on gets published one day. Then I did little note sections on Facebook mainly updating about my life, so that’s about as close to blogging as I got. If it’s okay, I’m hoping to get word about my book to attract more readers. Have you published any work as a writer? Got any tips?
