Hello to everyone

Hi Authors, It is nice to 'meet you all' and I look forward to gleaning from your knowledge and expertise. I'm happy I found this site however I'm nowhere near the level of writing you all are. I've always known that I wanted to be a writer but never knew where or how to begin. When I realized that the key is to begin small, very small, I started writing on mturk. That's short for Amazon Mechanical Turk. The wages are very modest however, the main difference between mturk and here, from what I've learned so far, is that when I accept a writing task on mturk it is mine and mine alone. I've written in the range of 100 word articles to 300 word articles. From that platform I now know why I love to write. Learning. I love to learn new things and writing on mturk has given me the opportunity to research subjects I wouldn't normally explore. In the meantime, I'll read as many of the forum topics here as I can to familiarize myself with the process. And it may take me awhile to be brave enough to submit an article but I will give it go. I work full time as a sales assistant at a roofing company so this will be my 'spare time hobby'. Of course I'll still use mturk to hone my writing skills and get immediate gratification and pay for my efforts. Kind regards, rose.
