Hi!!

Hello everyone! I'm a totally new member, and a young amateur who writes for fun, not really to get published (at least, not right now -- but it would be nice ;D) but just as a hobby, mostly self-publishing to an audience of no one (💀) on a neocities website I run -- my main career choice is in something else. I find that fiction-writing in particular helps me process and articulate my emotions and beliefs, especially through my characters. Plus, I have a conception of writing as a way to weave a complex tapestry of insights and themes, which really excites me, and I want to get better at doing that.

I found this place because I realized I really needed to engage with other writers instead of me just toughing it out alone and basically doing guesswork as to whether my writing is good or not 😭 Plus, I feel the experience of writing is made better with other people!

I chose this site over the alternatives because it seems more active and generally more welcoming and less restrictive.

Thank you for having me!
 
Welcome #4n. Most agree that reading extensively and critical writing can enhance success in nearly any career path you choose.

Hi and welcome!

I definitely relate to your sentiments. I joined up to start sharing my work and to learn to improve my skills. It's a great place for both.

Have a beer.
Homer, you're going to have to make good on these one day 😜

Incidentally...
Yeah, I just googled "writing forum", and as I searched through the results, I actually found y'all's old site, which redirected me to here!
... that's precisely how I came to be here as well.
