Hi everyone,
After a very long hiatus (23 years), I have recently ventured back into writing. It feels good to dust off the pencils and paper again... well, I suppose it's dusting off the keyboard now lol. After finishing school I dabbled in writing & drawing to serve as my creative outlet but I allowed myself to get pulled away from it with the likes of finding my wife, having kids, career, etc.
A few months back my wife and I were chatting about the need to 'feed our souls' so after several hours we came to a conclusion; I decided to start writing again and she chose to take up painting! I am loving it.
I ended up scouring the internet in search of anything on writing and I was to able to find endless websites that catered to my literary cravings. In the process I stumbled upon this website. I have been lurking around for a bit now gathering my bearings and reading through pages of material. Some great stuff in here!
I have started a short story and have the framework in place for a novel, both in the fantasy realm. I have always been attracted to the fantasy side of things with the books I read, movies or the games I play so I thought that would be the best place to dive in.
Anyways, I figured it was time to poke my head in here and introduce myself so, hello!
See you on the page.
Derek
