There you are author of prose and poetry. Dare I venture beyond my own limits to write a short story, I have to focus and I have trouble doing that.
try a short story, something you know about, and have fun with it. Its possible, (Hey if I can do it, so can you!) You write it and Knitting and I can look it over and give you tips, tricks, and suggestions. When its done, its yours, and you will find it was fun (at times) and worthy. The worst you can do is succeed and then others expect you do it again, and even better! ;^)
