Okay, I'm here; I'm participating. Enjoying the back & forth with other writers. Waiting for penises and fetuses to move down the "Most Recent" list, but working around them. Well, that's kind of unintentionally visual.
This essay, like many other reads on here, is fiction-not, but it all works to take words from mind to screen to mind. Keeps us in the writing-go-round of practice, practice, practice.
Still learning how this place works. Investigating writers who make comments on my stuff, and am so impressed with the quality of writing here. That should read, incredibly jealous, but so much more motivated! Following the others into the cyber world beyond this place, has led to some great discoveries; I recommend it if you have the time.
Taking moments away from my own world crisis to be here is such good therapy. Huh, Fictionaut as therapy. Add that to the benefits.
Just answer one question and I'll let you go: Where do I go to find out more info about this place? Do ya have an FAQ? Sounds like a song.
Peace out (got that from my little grand daughter),
Patti

^ That forum has everything you need to know.
There's also a more formal FAQ linked at the very bottom of the page. I can see it from here.
There it is! Everything I need to know sounds good too. Thank you Sally & Matt.
Don't listen to Matt Robinson. He'll steer you wrong every time.

Welcome Patti. I hope you like it here.
"Peace out." I like that. I like this piece a lot. Good stuff. Honest, solid. You're home now, Patti. Welcome. *
It takes awhile to manage the quirks but it's worth it if you find a supportive network.
A good twist - the real moment as literature. Enjoyed.
Thank you for the welcome home--Joani, Jake, Gloria-- Sam, I appreciate your use of the word "literature" very much.
Please, please no group hug though.
