To those who have made me feel so welcome, those who I have been admiring from afar and those who I haven't yet met:

I've been struggling a bit to find a place in this community and was hoping for a little advice from those of you who have carved a comfy place for yourselves on here. I am a writer but, even more so, I'm a reader.  I love words strung together well.  I'm a singer/songwriter who loves tinkering on the piano.  I uploaded a few songs back in March, when I first joined.  However, like so many other recordings, they were quickly buried beneath all the beautiful works that are contributed to this site daily, hourly, as I write.

Any advice on how to become more visible in the community?  

I have an album of my tiny stories and I'd love some advice on how I might grow as a writer of tiny stories... because, like many of you, I do so love a good tiny story!

Also, if you search through my records, you'll find an album of songs I've written.  Any feedback would be so welcome!  I have melodies in my head all the time and maybe I should consider uploading them, without lyrics, piano only... and seeing if any of you can build upon them.

More than anything, I just feel so blessed to have found such an open and intimidatingly talented group of artists to work alongside of.  

Thanks for reading this far...
