Hi Ali-

I'm from the lovely Gulf Coast (Gulf Breeze, Florida). I just moved here after hopping around the globe for the Navy (Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and even Italy to name a few). Though I'm no longer a "youngin'" according to my drivers license, I still feel like I'm 21. Does that count?

Good question, E.J. about how to improve your writing. I've been doing several things:

-I have a personal "Writer's Cramp" goal of 30 entries in 30 days. I'm on day 21 so far! It's been a great stretch for my creativity muscle
-Since I'm trying to learn to write poetry, I read and review A LOT to get ideas for what works and what doesn't from others.
-I also try to go back and make changes people suggest on my work (when I get time HAHAHAHA)
