When you ask them hove much they've written and they say they've not actually written anything or they have bought great writing software but haven't figured out how to use it!<br /><br />As for joining the army - wow!

But in my 20s, I started a small writer's group here in Nashville. Someone in the group decided to make it a Romance Writers of America chapter and it's HUGE now, but I was just wanting a little group where we could support each other!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-86681734279101854462016-04-15T09:59:01.482-04:002016-04-15T09:59:01.482-04:00Interesting idea.
