Well no, actually it isn't. Sorry to alarm you. I'm kind of just out here searching for something. I love to write, yet have never finished any piece of writing outside of assigned work in school and I've been out of school for sometime. I have ideas that run through my head and I would love to develop them into something amazing yet I have that dreaded occurance where I sit down and nothing comes out other than the scattered details of an idea. I dont even know where to begin but I figured if I looked around and eased a bit of this and that out there I might feel inclined to start writing more and finish something for once. If, perhaps, I found a group of people who enjoy writing then I might want to join them in their passion. Heres to hoping.
Welcome to the forum, Ahuizotl. I think we all feel like this at one time or another. You'll find lots of advice and different schools of thought in the upper section of the home page where you see things like Plot Development and building characters. You'll find that you're not alone. Now, for the official spiel: Please have a look through the Forum Rules, and the FAQ as a start. Then take a leisurely stroll through the different areas of the forum to get your bearings. Once you have a good idea where everything is, come and say hello in the Lounge or have a look at the items already up for review in the Workshop Please remember that as a full participation workshop. You are required to give two (2) constructive reviews of posted items prior to posting your own work. Thereafter, two reviews for every post of your own work is the expected standard. Remember that two is only a minimum. Now, why do we have this requirement? Because we have a very different philosophy here than you will find in most other forums. We are not a refrigerator door to pin up work with a colorful magnet for all the world to see. Our forum is not about getting reviewed. It’s about giving reviews and in the process improving your own writing. Have fun!
