    Impersonal and confidential

    I don't know what I'm doing here. Up until 8 months ago I had a successful career making plenty of money. I spent most of my time in my office or in airports and I put on about 40 lbs. Now I'm a full time student again, broke, thinner and much happier.

    I have never really thought that I would want to write, but I really enjoy it. Periodically, an idea will surface and I roll it around in my head for a few days and then let it go. I would like to start exploring some of those ideas and see where they lead. I will gratefully receive any wisdom that any of you care to share.

    Doyle

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy yourself here--but not too much, might make you put on some of the weight again. My wisdom is to do a bit of cardio while you're waiting for replies to your posts.

    I'm looking forward to seeing you around the threads.

    Welcome again.

    Thank you

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have perused a few of the links and I'm glad to see that there are so many of you that are generously offering encouragement to those of us that are just getting started. I plan to spend some time reading old posts and trying to get my bearings. If anyone knows of a great posting that shouldn't be missed, please feel free to contact me. There is a tremendous amount of information and I will do my best to sift through it, but I don't want to miss anything.

    Hey, Doyle,

    Welcome to the forums. I have two main pieces of advice:
    1. Don't let anything or anyone on the internet make or break your day or your creativity.
    2. A crit group friend pointed me to a free online writing course when I was at right about the same stage in my writing as you currently are. I keep meaning to put the link in Writer's Resources as it was really helpful to me. (And, no, I am not affiliated with it in any way. It simply is helpful in getting your fiction legs under you.)

    I'll go post that now that I'm thinking of it. Welcome!

    ~Foxee

    EDIT: Ok, I just posted it in Writer's Resources.

    Welcome, Doyle. Glad to have you.
    Remember why you like to read, and inundate your writing with your love of story. No great writer ever found reading a chore.
