**Me, driving in Iraq...God I LOVE my job! LOL**

Hmm... what to say.  I am in my mid-twenties, but forever young at heart!  I have one daughter, who is my whole world.  I have always loved to write, but for some reason always been too scared to share any of my writing.  Aside from your typical high school and college essays I really have never shown anyone the pieces I have written or that are currently in the works.  I stumbled upon Booksie one afternoon and feel in love with so many of the great stories I read,  I admired the talent of these people fearlessly posting their work and thought, why not...maybe I should make an account.

I am also in the service, have been for 5 years now.  I suppose at some point it dawned on me that being afraid to post my writing seemed trivial considering that I did a tour in Iraq and could survive that.  Though the fears attached to them both are vastly different, they are similar.  I can risk my life, physically but I am afraid to share what I write?  So what the heck...I'll do it, I said.  So I am finally creating an account so I can do more then just read the great stories here, maybe I could post a story or two of my own.

I am not expecting greatness from this, just another milestone to say I overcame!  I hope there is at least one person that will like something I write, or at least leave some great tips and advise!  So thanks for taking the time to read this...I hope it wasn't too dull and pointless.  I might come back and update this later, but for now this will have to cover the basics.

Please enjoy!
