Hi everyone!
I've browsed the forums a few times here before, but I only just signed up. Basically I've been writing stories since I was a kid and first learned how to write (of course, my stories back then were significantly less intricate and usually involved talking animals, illustrated, of course, by yours truly).
Thankfully, last year a friend pointed me in the direction of Camp Nanowrimo, and after joining the community there, I started taking my writing more seriously, found my passion again and finally (for the first time in my life) finished a novel (the first draft, that is). Now I'm faced with the incredibly daunting task of trying to edit it, which feels more or less hopeless depending on the day.
So yeah, that's my story. Oh, and I write in the fantasy genre (duh, 'cause that's the best?). And in my wildest dreams someday I would make a living or at least a part-time living through my writing. Yeah, I know, but a girl's gotta hope. I'm still in college so I'm super busy, and I enjoy alternating between procrastinating on my homework and procrastinating on my writing. I also have a blog about being an aspiring author that no one reads, but I feel like it would be a shameless thing to put a link in my greeting message, so maybe I will shamelessly add it to my signature instead, as others seem to have done.
Nice to meet everyone!

Just noticed you have a blog, too! I will check it out! It's probably a lot more helpful than mine!
