Hi Donna!
Welcome to the forum! I am also from the United States and I agree with Boydie--you have come to the right place. The forum boards here are very busy (I totally can't keep up--but that's okay), and among the many members are at least a few, I'm sure, who will fit in with your style.
As Boydie mentioned, spending some time reviewing some of the music on a few of the boards (like "Lyrics", "Works in Progress", and "Finished Songs") will give you a good feel for who's doing what. You could also post anything you have so far, so we can get to know your work a little.
I also recommend reading the guidelines. I didn't do that when I first joined, and I kind of wished I had. They're helpful for knowing how things work.
I've tried other songwriting forums, but I have found this one to be the best one. In my opinion, anyway. I hope to see a lot of your input on the boards!
