    Hello Everyone!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Damian MacLagan, Jun 22, 2021.

    My name is Damian. I'm a young male in his late 20s and, even though I'm not calling myself a professional, I love to write as a hobby and I'm pretty good at it. My biggest flaw is that I am not big on reading, which seems unusual to me since I'd think someone who reads a lot would be a great writer. But anyways, I hope I will enjoy this site as I share some of my works with all of you all!

    Hi Damian and Welcome,
    Yes, I did think it odd to not be big on reading . . . but then, who am I to judge

    Hey Damian, welcome to the forums! Not reading a lot can work in your favour in a way. You won't go into writing a specific genre knowing what lots of other people did, so you might make your work feel a bit fresher or new.

    What genres do you like writing the most?

    Hi Damian!

    I'm new as well!

    I agree with Steve Rivers that not reading could definitely work in your favor. It keeps you laser-focused on the world, story, and characters you're creating.

    Look forward to seeing you around the forum.
