Hello everyone, I am new here. I am a novice fantasy author who has been trying to make the stories I wrote when I was a kid into one novel. I hope to learn lots here and eventually post some of my work and get good critique and advice on improvements. I love listening to music, watching TV, and hanging out with my friends/family. I also have a cat named Skye. That is all I wish to share about me. Sincerely, Jesse
Welcome, and I hope you find useful help, advice and conversations. There's lots of useful resources beyond the workshop, but feel free to peek in and have a go at critiquing. I'd also suggest having some fun with our monthly competitions in poetry, short stories and flash fiction. Bragging rights are the only prizes but it's fun to win. I have a cat named Selbbin. So, that explains my name.
Hey Jesse! I think remaking the story you wrote as a kid into a proper book is a great idea. I wish I could do something like that myself. How have you been handling it? Taking the general theme and characters and expanding upon it, or are you adding in a whole new plot based around the original seed? Welcome to the forums, btw!
@Steve Rivers , That is exactly what I am doing! However due to life's circumstances I am into this 10+ years now. I hope to wrap up the first book this year.
