Hello! I'm a person of many hobbies who, at least currently, hopes to one day earn a living as a fiction author. You know I'm serious about it because I've "written" my first book already, under multiple file names, some of which are variations on the phrase "final draft."
Science fiction and fantasy are my favorite genres, in both reading and writing. I have been interested in writing for most of my (relatively young) life, but have only recently managed to actually see one of my projects through to completion. The book I said I "finished" is currently out for review by beta readers, and is the first in a series of five YA fantasy novels that I plan to publish one day. This is not intended as self-promotion; I won't even mention the title here. I am also interested in honing my skills by writing short fiction, but I honestly don't know where to start.
Since I've been rather disappointed recently with the commitment level of my beta readers, I did a Google search for "writing forum," and found this place. I think being part of a community where I can consistently give and receive critique might be the next important step of my writing journey. Thanks for having me, and see you around the forums!
