My job consists mainly of trying to coax university students into writing coherent sentences in their own first language.  Results vary.

New here, just signed up for the short story challenge. I am an accounting manager for a telecommunications company. Super nervous for entering, but have been writing all my life as a therapeutic outlet…just looking forward to the specific guidelines and hoping I can relate and produce a great story! 😊

My day job?
I operate a sawmill.

I just signed up here on the site. Looks like a nice community.

I publish my work primarily on Kindle Vella, but am working toward getting stuff in print and ebook too.

I'm a full-time parent of two littles who works a couple nights a week at a pretty little bar down the hill from my home.
