I've always had a pretty wild imagination since childhood. Stories were such an attractive concept, their attractiveness mainly coming from the lack of limitations of which one could take advantage when writing your original narrative. I guess sometimes you can just feel potential brimming in your spirit.

Over the years, I kept coming back to writing as my thought processes evolved, until around seventeen years old I started taking it seriously as a profession. I don't think I got good until around nineteen. I'm twenty now, so obviously there's much room for improvement, and that's part of the reason I'm here. Plus, I just wanna talk to other writers. I haven't often been the most social of people, but I try, so it's nice to meet everyone! I look forward to sharing my art, getting advice, and making acquaintances :)

Nice to meet you, DragonWithGlasses. You can talk to writers here all day long if you let yourself, but then when would you get any writing done? It is affirming, though, to find so many people who are quite a bit like you all gathered in one place.

Welcome aboard, Dragonwithglasses. :welcome: Still new here myself but I'm gettin' the ropes around here. You've been writing since you were seventeen eh? What genre do you write, out of curiosity? I'm looking for people with a YA fantasy/ sci-fi mindset.

Welcome, Dragon! You got an early start, and that's good. I didn't start writing seriously until I was 25 and didn't get published until 38, so, yes, you learn a lot over time. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about approaching writing, techniques, or grammar. My only advice right now, based on what you wrote, is take that active imagination and attach it to something that a reader can grasp.
