This site seems like a great place to continue my apprenticeship in writing. An apprenticeship that never ends of course 
I'm twenty years old and live in the UK. I work in a library and have recently started writing again. I used to love writing short stories as a child and regularly had my talents lauded by various English teachers throughout school.
But I was never the academic type and was content to coast along and not work hard enough, so as a result I have never reached my potential.
That is about to change. For the first time I'm taking writing seriously.
I love the work of Stephen King and various horror writers. I enjoy reading other genres too, fantasy, historical and crime etc etc.
I'm currently working on a few short stories and a novella. All in various stages of completion. I keep being told I should stick to one project as a time, seems good advice, but taking it isn't coming easy.
I also have a few rough novel outlines somewhere on my laptop too.
The ultimate dream is to be able to sustain a living and support my girlfriend and future children through writing.
Anyway, that's enough from me for now.
A pleasure to meet you all.
P.S - Yes, my user-name is a nod to the late great Bill Hicks
