Okay, I'm reading "On Writing" and because SK asked so nicely, I did the fossil exercise on page 170. It was quite fun and surprising actually. I'm a young 50 something female, a graphic designer by trade, and a bit miffed at the cosmic gods that I found out at this stage of the game that I love writing. But we've all got to start somewhere. Gotta roll the shirt sleeves up and get to it. Nice to meet you all.
