Ages ago…I don’t really want to count how many years…I was a young writer exploring the internet. As I sat at my computer one day I wondered what to do with this big thing called the world wide web. So I decided to plug some of my hobbies into a search engine (this was before I’d found Google!) and see what happened.
Well, I typed in writing and found the writers bbs. It wasn’t long before I was a member and hanging out in the chatroom. I met lots of other writers and one in particular who wrote romance.
As I remember it, Denise messaged me to let me know about a group called cata-romance on this service called onelist. It was a group just for romance writers.
I of course signed up and the rest, as they say, is history. But over the years, through changes to egroups, then yahoo groups, and finally cataromance.com, I became friends with Denise. She was writing romance about race cars long before Harlequin ever joined forces with Nascar. I see her around the web though we don’t talk nearly as often as we used to. Time flies by, things change, I haven’t been a member of the BBS in probably 8 years. So sad, but just a reminder to keep in touch with old friends.
How about you? Any old friends you haven’t talked to in a while?
