*Hello There! I'm from California but I live in Georgia now. *I did a lot of writing when I was a kid, from like 10 to 15.

* I'm from Texas. * I've been writing for as long as I can remember. There's been times where I've gone months without writing anything, but I always come back to it. I started reading at a very young age and instantly fell in love with the written word. There's nothing quite like coming across something you've read an...

I'm a Toronto-based freelance writer who runs a small editing/commission/writing business. I started writing when I was four. I OpenOffice and my max speed is 110wpm but I usually hover around 90 when I focus on accuracy.

* The UK. * I have always written in my spare time but never had the discipline to write anything structured (I am easily distracted and a bit of a self-sabotager). I do have a blog but it's more about trying to put pressure on myself to write stuff, rather than being actually any good and is a little bit random with ...
