I am here... Here I am

[Anakinobi]

I rarely enjoy introductions in person or in writing, but since this is a writing forum, and I am safe and cozy in my home, and you are wherever you are, I think I can muster the courage to write a few words. After all, if I am to share my writings from time to time, I'd better learn to get past the timidness and join the land of the people.


In the past, I often wrote and had the good fortune of having a few drabbles published on a couple of websites before letting those pesky self-doubt thoughts convince me that I was wasting my time and packing up my words to send them packing to a farm upstate..


Recently, an urge to write again crept up in me. I also want to learn to draw in the Russian style and play the electric guitar like Santana, and I have little time for any of it... especially with a family and a dead-end job... but I also don't want to look back in another year or three and wonder what if, or what could have been. What if this time, I ignore that self-defeating part of me (of us all) and write anyway?

Welcome to the forum. Self-doubt is in a lot of us, often times it's just noise. And even if your work needs more... work, don't give up! We develop the best by training and exercising in the areas we want to perform. And you have taken more steps by joining a writing community!

If you want to share your work here, we have a workshop for that. You can post one story at first without any further exchange if you want, then every story after that you will need to provide one critique on another story for every story you post. Does that make sense?

So, what do you like to read and write?

I try to read a wide gamit of stories. Right now I am re-reading some Stephen King and about to takle either War and Piece or Anna Karenina.

I write mostly short stories, but I also want to work on a novel as well.

For to most part I thought of the name when my son was really into the movies and playing with light sabers.

Hi Anakinobi, what do you like to write about?

 

[Anakinobi]

Untill recently I never gave much thought to what I wrote about. My stories were just random things that came to mind Usually based off a photo or weird situations.
