I really suck at writing intro posts, I just never know what to say, so I'm going to jump right in. Hi! My name is Cary *points to username* I am 23, and i've been writing since about 5th grade (those stories are hidden somewhere in a shoebox far from where eyes will ever see them) lol I've been working on putting together a series of novels for a few years now (i've even had offers to publish) but I haven't been happy with any of my attempts yet, so I just keep writing and re-writing them. Gah.. the curse of a writer.. perfectionism! Anyways, I took a long hiatus from writing when my daughter was born (she's three now.. how many of you have tried writing with a 3 year old around? yah.. its nearly impossible) but now I want to get back into it, and I decided to join because I need somewhere I can go for honest informed opinions on what i'm doing. I hope this is going to be that place For the most part i write sci-fi/fantasy, romance, and a bit of horror (who says you can only love one genre?).
Hi there You've come to the right place if you want honest reviews and answers. I honestly can't say I've tried to write around young children. Although I have used them for inspiration. Anyways hope you like it here. Cheers.
Hello, Cary. I wouldn't say you suck at introductory posts. You expressed yourself quite well. I hope you find what you need here. And I agree, perfectionism can be a curse. I've thrown away far too many ideas because I couldn't get them to come out right after a few tries. I really need to cultivate patience!
You seem interesting and talented, I'll have less of it please, we'll feel threatened! See you around the threads
hey Cary and welcome to WF. more than you would think!!! But yes great to have you on board and look forward to seeing you around.
