Seeking a Sense of Community

Hello to all current and equally new members.

I have come to join (invade) your forums in hopes of finding a sort of a community feeling I have not felt in years.
Likewise, writing is something I have not done in years either, nor have I read any books.
To sound the part of the tragic heroine, I lost my ability to perform these hobbies, but not my love for them, to depression.

I aim to take it back.

When I was able to write, I focused on dramatic tales that could take place in any era.
My characters are my strong suite, they are able to invoke strong feelings from my readers and turn what might be an ordinary plot into something with meaning.
My plots are... ordinary.
Or so extraordinary than I can not manage them.
There's no real in between.

Reading was focused strongly on fantasy novels and romance novels. Yes, those romance novels.
I formerly loved stories where there is the basic rules set of a story. Bad guy causes trouble, good guy fights all odds to defeat bad guy, good guy marries princess.

As I have gotten older I find myself seeking tales where the 'bad guy' is just as endearing as the good guy. Where it's hard to tell who you should root for. Where friends reading the same book can take two totally different views on who is going to 'win' in the end, and when they find the answer they so desperately sought there is a sense of closure, but also contemplation.

If I can earn my writing wings back, this is what I hope to evoke in my tales.

...

I sound old and stodgy but I swear I'm just a college student who works night shift for 7 days in a row and would like my 7 off days afterward to be filled with fantasy sword fights and heart breaking scenes.

Hi.
Hi!

Please ignore me I'll find my way around I feel silly waugle.

Darn plot bunnies, always giving me the run around.
Really, only two options here. Either I dive deep and get sucked into the community, or I forget about it the next day and all my grandiose plans of reviving myself fall short once more.
I'm hoping making some friends will perhaps hold me more accountable.

Many thanks!

I will certainly stop by the Cantina, only because I'm sure they play that one song that I like over and over again.

@Enlightended
Ello!
I'm kind of up in the air. Right now my goal is to become an Ultrasound tech, but I might switch to business school of a sort, or work on a degree in health information technology because that aligns more with what I do now.
But its boring.

Though, I'm about to move in a few months and the area I'm going to does not offer Ultrasound so something with have to change for sure.

Charaters : A++
Plots: Solid C
Settings is more of a mixed bag. I have a whole planet that I've developed with its own native species of 'alien' and things of that nature for a strange, SF/F world I was building. Cultures were developed, economies established, various biomes, a land of don't go there or the band spider witch will eat you, things like that but it always felt so vast and empty, I felt like I could never give enough detail to really get across what it was like. But that's a personal rating of N/A. I guess.

I'm planning on moving from southern pain in my neck Georgia to northern gunna freeze to death Illinois. I do work 7 on 7 off, and college is roughish but doable. Who needs sleep bah!
