Hello Maggie,

 I am a huge fan, and thanks for the enjoyable evenings, reading your books, has brought me. 

 I have been reading books for over 25 years. I have ideas and thoughts in my head.  I have full stories and plots I am dying to get out of me, onto paper.  I just don’t know where to begin or how. I read some of the books, you posted [on your website] for beginners and tried typing my thoughts down. But when I go back to reread what I type, it’s not good.  I am not sure what  I am doing wrong, I just know I need to get these stories out of me. I hope you can understand what I saying. It’s true I might suck at writing,  But I do know one thing, I am almost 40 years old, and I don’t want to be 50 and be thinking any thoughts about  “what if?” I have to try, if only once.

 Any advice you can give me about writing would be a wonderful help to me.
