Hey, I'm Elly Loughlin and I'm just beginning my journey on becoming a writer, hence the title, Prebie/Newbie Writer. I'm currently employed in the IT industry and I really need a change. I've always loved to read fiction and non-fiction but in recent years I haven't read much except for technical IT books. I know it's a long shot but I would gladly never work in the IT industry again if I could write full-time. I don't know where this journey will take me but I'm ready to give it my all for the next year or two, after work and on the weekends.

To date, I've written an initial draft of ~ 32,000 words of a YA Romance  e-book with a tentative title of, "A Case of Requited Love".  This is all new to me but I'm excited to be doing something that I could potentially love. I hope to publish it in the next few months.
