Well, hello there. Simply put, I am here to practice and improve my writing. The details are that I began writing as a child, and my greatest regret is that when I became a teenager I let life's shit get in my way and make me doubt myself. My one wish for my life was to see my name on a book(even if it was one book in the clearance rack). This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and I thank you guys for having this site available for me to do so.
I hate criticism but I welcome it. I'll close my eyes, hold my breath and jump right in, but as you've heard before: please be gentle, it's not my first time but it's been a while.

Hello and welcome to the forums mandymarie!

Criticism definitely stings, but it forces us to grow as writers. Jumping right in is a good idea, but I suggest you keep your eyes open so you can enjoy the journey. I hope you have fun and I'll see you around the forums.
