Shortly after joining WOSIB, I joined one of the many Gardens available to members ... The Literary Garden. This Garden is full of the most amazing women. Each and every one special in her own right. Each month the members are required to submit 3 pieces to any of the several Corners within the Garden. My submissions tended to be mainly in the Expressions Corner, Hints & Tips Corner, and Continuing Story Corner, although I was brave and tried my hand at Poetry once. You can find some of my submitted pieces by using the menu to the left. I hope you enjoy the writing I've offered here, and hopefully find something useful within them. In October 2003, I had to take an extended leave of absence from the Literary Garden for personal reasons. Although I tried to get back into the swing of things in early 2004, I found that the required submissions felt a bit too much like 'homework' (lol), and decided to try another garden for awhile. One of these days, I may get my writing muse back and rejoin. I truly do miss the wonderful friends I made there, although I do run into some of them from time to time in other Gardens.
