Hey everyone, I live in Arizona and writing has always been something I enjoyed, even as a child. I remember asking my arts teacher in elementary if I could write something instead of painting as I told her "that is art too" or something else cute that kids say. I used to be a blogger, writing for travel and sports blogs and what not but now I am hoping to follow something that I have wanted to do since I was a teen; writing a kids book. Unlike some members on here I am not X way through Y but I am just trying to soak up all the information/knowledge possible before taking my first big step.

Welcome! I'm new here too.

What did your art teacher say when you asked him or her that question? Hopefully they recognized different styles!

Unfortunately I was told no, that I had to use the paints and crayons provided instead. Not the best teacher I had.

Welcome to AW! Now you get the chance to ignore the crayons and just use your words :Sun:

Hi there. I'm new here too and I currently run a blog of my own about writing.

But curious question

"Unlike some members on here I am not X way through Y "

What does that mean?

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

I saw that a lot of members here are actively writing a book or something similar, I wasn't too sure if that was the norm here or not so I thought I would just say I am not there yet!
