Okay here is your chance at an old newbie. Hows that for an oxymoron?
After reading so many stories and lurking here a thought (hare brained?) came to mind.
'I could do that!' Then reality arrived. Maybe I can do better than some I've read where
it was actually painful to read. No punctuation, no uppercase where needed, etc.
Hopefully won't come across as some no talent idea stealing hack, if I do manage tolerate
the result, I hope to entertain with my submission.

You don't need to write something the length of "War and Peace" - everything from Drabbles (~100 words) through short (most of my few efforts to date have been in the 1,500-2,000 word range and have been well received) all the way up to full-blown novels (40,000+ words) have been posted and welcomed.
Either post it direct, or if you think there may be the occasional error / omission which others may spot, just ask and one of the more experienced contributors will probably offer their services as an editor / proof reader.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
Crap. I had a nice long
Crap. I had a nice long message typed out & had it all wiped out. Short version. If anyone
wishes to give what I have so far a glance and tell me what they think either post
something here or my inbox. I know how valuable time is with working long hours cutting
into my muse's time at the keyboard. Not much to it so far. Maybe a two minute read for
most.
Hey there, I've had some
Hey there,
I've had some real rough things going on in my life. Starting last October.
Same day I was injured at work, wife was informed job of 29 years going away to Minn.
Stage One breast cancer for wife.
She had the surgery.
Wife had car accident.
Radiation treatments.
Mother diagnosed Stage Four cancer in June.
Mother went in to hospital in July. Died july 20 in a crappy hospise. Thankfully she went peacefully.
August 10 I lost my job. By the way, I was born on Friday August 13. Happy Frigging Birthday to me.
I started a complete rewrite of that so called hack job of a story I submited. Major rewrite.
So with all the sunshine in my life I started a real dark piece. That was before starting on medications for obvious reasons.
So if anyone would like to see an advance copy, and take a stab at giving some edit help or suggestions here is an email address to contact me. Yes I'm a Matt Kenseth fan.
Fellow Cheesehead.
