Planning to make the attempt to write a few stories. But lacking the necessary skills thought this would be a good place to develop them a little. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Don't plan to attempt to do something. DO IT.

To learn to write is all about collecting experience in doing so.

Welcome to the Water Cooler. Good luck on getting started. I wish I would have looked around here a little more before I did.

Hi Tanelorn, I saw your username and had to say hi. :) Accidental collection of letters, or a Michael Moorcock fan?

Welcome!

Love what you said.

Lots of great advice to be had here, both on writing and on submitting/publishing. Best advice you can get on writing is to read/write a lot. Suggest you pick up a copy of Stephen King's "On Writing."

Best of luck. It's good to meecha!
