Good day, new writer on the block

[AiryBri]

I was obsessively reading "The Learn Writing with Uncle Jim thread" and so I decided to sign up and join the community. I started writing back in kindergarten, but didn't like until like 4 years ago. Still I didn't attempt anything with it until mid-November of this year (I'm 17 now btw, senior in high school.) I used NaNoWriMo as an excuse to get my Butt In Chair and I wrote a 52'000 word mess, in 17 days I might add, that almost resembles a novelette with too much detail.

I got all excited in December and then ran away from it. I came back this month to discover how awful it truly is. But a lot of people say their first draft is awful so I haven't given up quiet yet.

Never give up. Never surrender! I have a few messes in my hard drive, but I intend to get them all worked out. You just gotta give it time. I have finished a few short short things, so I know all things are possible... lol Welcome, good luck and I hope you learn a lot here!

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome!! And yeah, I have barely touched my NaNo novel since November ended. Yech. It needs serious editing, but...yeah. lol.

My first drafts are terrible too, but the consensus here is to just keep writing!
