Hello!
I just wanted to stop in and say hi. And that Im glad these forums exist!
Long story short, writing was my escape all throughout my teenage years. I wrote for entire weekends, after school. My characters and my stories were my fantasy world. I always thought Id get something published one day, but I didnt really go to school for it or anything (I hated school).
After high school I went skipping off into the world of traveling/partying/drugs and just coming of age and finding myself. Still got a lot of finding myself to do but I dont party much these days and Im getting focused on really doing something with my life again.
Well one day, out of nowhere a couple weeks ago, It just was like God reached down, slapped me across the face and said "get to it! do what you were meant to do!" and I just KNEW. OUt of nowhere all these ideas, things things I not only wanted but NEEDED to write about came pouring out of my soul into my brain and I felt so alive it startled me!
Ever since then Ive actually made up my mind that I not only want to but just AM doing this. Its almost like I dont have a choice! lol. But Im happy about it. My stories and my characters can once again become my fantasy world but now I have a whole lot more life experiance and maturity to put into my books.
I havent started writing my book yet, but Im setting aside two hours a day developing my characters each day. They are really becoming real people! I want to really know my characters before I start interweaving them in a story.
Well thats enough out of me for a first post! lol hope it didnt bore you. Im looking forward to talking with everyone here soon!
