I've worked in IT for over 20 years but have enjoyed blogging for both my company and my personal blog for many years. My writing goal is to finish writing and to publish a book of speculative fiction short stories. I'm looking for a committed writing/accountability group. 

          Lane Jennings has written mostly poetry, published in literary magazines (Amelia, Antietam Review, Bitterroot, Bogg, Gargoyle, Little Patuxent Review, Nebula, Third Wind, Treasure House, Visions, etc.), and the books Lineage: Prose and Poetry of Three Generations (Xlibris, 2012), Virtual Futures: Worldviews of Alternative Tomorrows (Other Worlds Pess, 1996) and Fabrications: New and Collected Poems (Black Buzzard Press, 1998).  He has also published a few short stories, and one novel, Satisfaction (Xlibris, 2016). 

         After graduating from Williams College in 1966, he studied theatre directing on a Fulbright Scholarship in Munich, Germany, and earned an MA and PhD in German  literature from Harvard University.  He has also taught English in Hong Kong and worked as an escort-interpreter for the U.S. Department of State. 

        From 1984 to 1990 Lane wrote scripts and voice-over narration for documentary television shows produced and broadcast on PBS and in Europe.   He served for over 40 years as an editor and writer for the World Future Society, retiring in 2015 as Managing Editor of the professional journal World Future Review.   Now semi-retired, Lane still does freelance editing and works at screenplay-writing.

I am a writer who wants to get more involved in sharing my work, and learn freelance writing. I began writing my first short stories and poems at the age of 10 years old, and have been on and off writing since then. Writing has saved my life in many ways, and I have a huge passion for the art. I would like to join a writing group to improve my writing skills, and meet people with similiar interests. 

I'm looking for a group of folx who are passionate about their creative non-fiction, personal essays, and poetry and would like to meet every so often to chat, read, and support one another in growing their craft. 

Background: I work in Editorial at an art auction house in the city, and I feel I am ready to start writing poetry and creative non-fiction again. I am hoping finding a supportive and passionate group to help get back into the swing of it. I graduated undergrad in Spring of 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Art History and a Women & Gender Studies minor. I completed my English capstone with a poetry collection.
