Howdee all,

Hot off the back of yet another cracker topic on the board. I took it upon myself to go home and look for a story that I have been writing for a little while now.

I have always loved writing, and even more so going back and read what emotive over-flow I have produced. As a lot of you may have noticed Poems are my number one, however I have also written a few short ( 1-2 page ) stories too.

The story that I may now need some help with is really more of an Autobiography. Based around the past few years of my life. I often deal with things a lot better when I write them down, which is what I did. Only noticing later on that it made for some good reading... Well it read well to me.

Only yesterday did I go public with this piece of writing to a friend, and she said to me that I should maybe look at publishing it somewhere. I instantly thought that there would be no place better than right here.

I would like to ask for someone to maybe read through it, edit it, hell do what you like with it. The reason I ask, is because I find it very hard to correct myself whether it be with spelling, grammar, tense, it doesn't matter what it is I am no good at it Smile

The story ( which is really more of a long diary entry ) is only about 19-20 pages long, but it has no set time line. I realise that it all has happened, thus past tense, but I really can not be too sure of the whole thing...

Any takers...

Dear Tempo,

I will be glad to help if I can and you would like. I can read through and comment. I can correct typos and some thinkos and I can do it all using 'track changes' in MS Word or Open Office Writer so that you can accept or reject each of the changes I suggest.

If you need to know more about me, just ask.

Love,
Anthony
