emily4 Profile

I'm a woman who has enjoyed writing for many years. I have had poetry published and am presently working on a memoir project. I had belonged to Herstory's Workshop, a creative writing group, where I read excerpts from my own work. I reveiwed other members works as they did mine. Before being diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, I was being trained to be a Facilitator for one of Workshop's 14 chapters on Long Island's North Shore area where I'd be running Workshop and reviewing other's works. Because I have Epilepsy, by New York State law, I'm not able to drive for one year and have no means of transportation to return to this workshop. Because of the NEXTbigWRITER Formum's fine reputation, I am looking forward to a means of continuing to share my work and reveiwing other's works allowing me to get my writing "mojo" back. My pace is way to slow at this point because I get caught up with editing process as I go along. Every line, every paragraph must be perfect. Hence, my "flow" suffers.
