Hello,
My name is Roger. I've dabbled at writing in fits and starts for years and have dozens of unfinished stories and articles. At the start of 2019, I narrowed my personal hobbies to golf and writing, giving each equal time. My career earnings as a writer might buy one week's groceries for two. Decades ago, I took a pair of fiction writing classes as electives and submitted work for professional critiques in college and at a writer's conference. I consider myself a beginner determined to improve as a fiction writer. Critiques can be gut wrenching, but unless you're a natural born wordsmith none of us will improve without a critical comment or two. For what my limited skill is worth, I plan to write at least 3-4 critiques each month.
