"Pre-computer, I wrote by hand and edited on a typewriter. Once those machines came out, I learned to type out my thoughts. Now I'm in a position where I can't write for more than 15 minutes, and dictating seems you're not…"

Hello Nancy!
I wanted tp personally thank you for joining my group Blooming Late!
And also glad that you have already started to perticipate in our discussions like the guestblogger one! I too had to have a health crisis to make me realise it was time to finally do what I feel I shoulf have been doing all of my life. I had a Near Death Experience when I was sent home multiple times untreated from the ER with undiagnosed Guillain-Barre Syndrome which quite literally killed me. ALL I could think about besides leaving my son was how I wanted to write. I came back without any outside intervention and my neurologist said I was the luckiest person he knew. I personally think God knew I finally got real and was finally going to persue my writing no matter what. That led to eventually creating this group. Its been a great ride so far, in spite of all the health things I have to deal with and being disabled.
Anyway, please introduce yourself to the group in the Kick It Off discussion and also let us know what your writing accomplishments and goals are.
You have probably already noticed that we have a wonderfully dynamic group of women, and apparently one guy, here that are a real source of support, encouragement and inspiration for writing. Take a looka round at the many discussions and our activities and see what you may want to participate in.
Glad you are here and WELCOME to the group!
