Hey, just wanted to introduce myself.
My names Tyler, 24 years old, and I've been interested in writing about since leaving high school. I haven't had much success figuring out exactly what I like writing about, but I've mostly committed myself to fiction. In my life I've found the most amazing emotional and spiritual moments have come from stories, and the messages laid within characters and plots. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is the latest one of those moving experiences I've had, with Starkiller destroying "Ego", and choosing to save his family over an eternity being god. None of my friends found that movie quite as inspiring as I did, but man it was cool to see such an amazing idea wrapped within a Marvel movie. It's that feeling, the philosophical and inexpressible ideas, and the I want to capture and explore in writing. It's a way for me to express and develop ideas I have no other way of expressing, and come to understand parts of myself that aren't consciously observable.
I sometimes feel the muse leading me through some really great ideas, but mostly feel like my writing is lackluster. I haven't committed enough time to it in the past to develop some sense of prose or style, and I find it hard to really observe my own writing objectively. My goal in joining this forum is to meet people who share the same passion for stories themselves, and to discuss what the hell we're doing writing things out onto a keyboard for. I'd also love to see what people think of stories I've written, so I can learn from them as well as more about my strengths and weaknesses.
I've always wanted to call myself a writer. Some people say, hey do you write? Well you're a writer! For me, I've always considered it more of a journey to take, and after a certain point on that journey you pass a threshold where you no longer feel like an imposter taking on that title. Part of that journey is escaping from the solitude of writing just to the blank page. I'd like to see someone on the other side of that, and hopefully find a bit more purpose in doing so.
Anywhoosle, thanks for being one of those someones, and I hope to get to know you!
