Howdy y'all, my name's Jonathan, and I am an aspiring author. I am looking for mentors and friends to talk about writing in all forms, and normal stuff too. It's easier to say I am trying to make friends and learn more about the industry as a whole as I want to work as a writer. I have a draft of a full length high fantasy (I believe) novel that is still going through critiques that I am excited to share with readers. Sharing story's to me has always been important long before I started writing, it's a beautiful thing to lose yourself in someone's story or listen to a friend retell a interesting night. On top of the high fantasy novel I have a trilogy set in a sci-fi universe that has been in concept since I was in middle school, for reference I'm 26 now. All my writing has a romance element that qualifies all I write as romance and its fun but daunting. I am bouncing around all three books constantly so the five month it took me to finish the draft of my first book is not likely, still I love working with the writing day by day.
Writing gives me purpose and I want my storys to give smiles, thoughtful reflections, and enjoyment to its reader. I also don't care what others say about my work, I listen to criticism but the natural backlash to anything someone makes doesn't worry me, at least to much that it bends what I write.
Anyone feel free to hit me up, I love meeting people. So say hi and I look forward to getting to know y'all. Any suggestions on which forum threads to visits would be great too.

Science fiction and fantasy mixed with the romance genre is very publishable. You can probably find a lot of markets for fiction like that.

Best of luck, Jonathan, and welcome to AW!
