Just found WritersCafe.org. I'm a retired high school Speech & Debate coach. I still do adjunct teaching at our local community college.  Now that I have the gift of TIME, I decided to start fleshing out the  outlines and story ideas I've had filed away.I recently attended a Short Story Workshop led by Pat Carr. At the end of the workshop most of us had at least two outlines. Pat knows her Short Story!My favorite type of mystery will always be the 'locked room'. At 63, I'm still very much a newbie to the writing life.
