Eighties baby here! It pleases me to learn there is no shortage of seasoned writers in this thread.
I've been putting pen to page since I was in my early twenties, though my ever-evolving writing style bears only a passing similarity to its humble beginnings. On Tapas, I offer an oldie but a goodie: Crimson, my first queer vampire novella, which was initially published in 2009. I've rewritten it several times over the years; I most recently revamped it in 2020.
My other offering, BL farce/cringe comedy Bare Possibilities, also debuted in (as a rough draft) in 2009, though it languished unfinished until January of this year.
As a self-published author who works with other freelance professionals to hone my craft, I have twelve non-Tapas titles under my belt. I'm currently juggling raising children of various ages while relentlessly pursuing my passion and seeking career advancement in my field of interest.
I wish you all success and fulfillment in your creative pursuits.
