New member here. I saw these forums mentioned on several blogs and decided to take the plunge and check out the community first hand.
I've played around with writing on off for a long time. Going back to high school my friends and I would try our hands at fantasy story or video game inspired stories featuring thinly veiled versions of ourselves in them. In my twenties I was writing fairly regularly for a while, but never got close to seeking to publish anything. Finishing projects has always been a struggle for me.
I've spent time doing online role playing games which is essentially a combination of improv and creative writing. And eventually even became involved in some of the world building and creation of NPC characters for some of those communities.
But right now I have an idea for a story/novel that I'm pretty excited and have been making some decent headway on. I know I'll never be someone who maps everything out in advance, that approach has never worked for me, but I have more of a plan than I normally do with this, so I feel like completing it is a realistic goal for me. How good it ends up being is another question of course.
Anyway, looking forward to meeting folks here and reading what other folks are producing and hopefully getting a bit of feedback on my own efforts when the time comes.
