RE: Short story writers - Your November prompt from Write Club
When I was young I wanted to be a writer, I used to make books joining with glue the papers and even doing hardcovers, that's how I ended up in illustration and even eventually in music for me it was always a way to portray my stories. Now I have a dilemma... I've got used to English but I'm not native, and I stopped reading in my native language long long ago so now I don't feel I have the skills to successfully write and polish in neither of the languages. I recently stumbled upon a folder of my old writings, my mum had it sent to me... I mean I was ten, eleven, entire books and tales... and I think I would not write them better than I did then... which is kind of discouraging, for me now writing poetry and songs is my way to still be "at it" but I want to start again if not with full books a I used to to get back to short tales format. I just need to make my mind if I should write in English or Spanish.
You're very welcome to try out Write Club. I'm there, and also not native English speaking. I recently even started writing short stories again in my native tongue. If you would like to try it out, and want to commit to the one month schedule as Jayna explained above, you're welcome to give it a go.
I will definitely check when I'm ready, I'm not even posting much this year cos I'm undergoing an "overwhelming" time in my life :) so far I have some blank papers on my desk waiting to become letters for some dear friends that are long time due. I have collected leaves to press and I'm determined to get them out before Xmas, to start with I'll start there. :) Thanks for the encouragement though. I may join in the near future.
It would be fun to have you, Yidneth. Your English is fine, and we can help. If at some point you decide it’s time to take up a pen again, let us know.

I used to write using this old fashioned typing machine :) when I have my mind settled down I will go and review many of those little tales that are there, even if old... I wrote a dark poem for Samhain/ Halloween last week I put it into music, it's in last post, for me songs are poems too, by the way there are 3 ratties this one, you were the only one spotting one in last video hahah.
Oh I have a new challenge! Is it up? I will look!
