Thread: Newbie!!

Hello All,

I'm so thrilled to have found this site. I just joined another writing forum but it was dead, ugh!

I've loved writing since I was roughly 8 years old, now 31, it's been a part of my life for a very long time. Unfortunately though, I've had a major case of writers block for many, many months. I typically write poetry but also dabble in prose and non-fiction essays. I write most and I wrtie best when I'm emotionally charged whether it be through a case of anxiety, obsession, lust, sadness, etc. and well, fortunately or unfortunately, none of those have been present for awhile. I don't write well off "happy" feelings, so I almost need a dose of darkness to get my creative juices flowing.

I am looking forward to meeting others who love writing just as much as I do, sharing pieces of writing, reading others writing, and most of all, delving into what I've always loved but have ignored for too long.

I'm sure I'm not the first to admit that writing often times takes a back seat to the routines of daily life "time for dinner, need a shower, too tired, not in the mood to write rather watch TV and zone out, laundry to do, etc." but it's high time my passion takes the drivers seat, even if only for a few hours, or a couple days a week.

so hheeellllooooo writers!!

Hi poetnfunk, welcome! I think many writers have a bit of the poe-syndrome.

Hello to you, and welcome to the forums! I also love writing, but find that every day life often comes in-between. So I only write when i find the ideal circumstances: being alone in the house, no other things on the mind... I've especially asked for a job that is only halftime or three quarters of a normal routine. So I have at least one or two days a week for my writing.

Welcome poetnfunk. Like you, and many others here I'm sure, I also have a hard time finding time to write regularly. Being that it's my senior year of high school, and I have so much going on for next year planned (music major auditions and such), I just haven't found the time to write as much as I'd like. All that aside, welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll love it here, everyone's very helpful, and generally nice people

Heyo, welcome to the forum!
