Writing at Home in a small town...

Welcome to the rural area. Yes-I see horse and buggies every day. The town I grew up still has a brick road on it's main street uptown. Tourists are amazed at the horse and buggies, and of course the brick roads. I see them every day.

I believe it was the most I had gotten in the six years that I have been there... Once I make such a decision-I will be sharing it all with you, and each month, the monetary goals that i reach....

So for now, this is my introduction. --Enjoy looking through the virtual windows of my rural area... --Us writers like to hide in small cracks--we don't always just roam the cities-We too, like wide open spaces....
