I'm loving this site so much! I'm a twenty-one year old aspiring author, and while most of my writing is garbage I like to believe that it'll mature over time. Looking forward to being a member of the community!

Don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure your writing will mature over time, too, but you have to start somewhere... and I doubt it's garbage now. :) I've been at this a pretty long time, and I can say I have learned one thing that I tend to live and die by:

You cannot edit a blank page!

So g'head and write your drivel... then edit it into the next great American novel ;)

Nice to meet you,
Tilly

Welcome. Your writing probably isn't garbage. It just feels that way when you know you can do better.

Hi, and welcome. I'm new too. I haven't gotten more than a few hours sleep since I found this site, it's great! I had questions answered that I didn't even know I had.

Welcome! I'm sure your writing isn't garbage, but one thing is certainly true: the more you write, the better you get! Don't throw away (or delete) what you write either. I recently found an old notebook that I wrote in when I was a teenager. It was fascinating to "hear" how I thought back then, and I even got some ideas from it.
