Linda Barnett-Johnson - Originally from Southern California, I now reside in Montana, where I met and married my Christian husband, Karl. I started a writing site in 2001 called "Your Writing Friend" where I give monthly assignments, exercises, contests and writing links. If you're interested in joining, send a self introduction to writingfriend@yahoo.com. I have a wide range of interests which include: oil painting, singing, playing the organ, church activities, gardening, canning, playing games, editing, reading and writing. I have five grandsons, one granddaughter. I am Assistant Editor of Long Story Short and Director of Administration for the Long Story Short School of Writing. Long Story Short School of Writing. 
"I write because it fulfills a longing to put thoughts and feelings to paper. When something grabs me on the news like female circumcision on young girls, then I need to write about it. I can't sit still until the story unfolds and is told from my perspective. Whatever touches me: abortion, genocide, abuse of children and the elderly, abuse of wives and girlfriends, abuse of animals, These are things that truly stir an emotion that sends me to find paper and pen."
If you are interested in receiving thorough editing on short stories and novels, please contact me for prices. I'm reasonable, fair and easy to work with.
