Reporting in.....(a bit late, eek!)

They say it's better late than never! It may be half way through the year, but this is my first week on the forum and my first foray into more serious creative writing. Signing up for this feels like a huge accomplishment though it might not be as celebration-worthy as some more tangible shares (finished chapters! successful pitches! you know who you are ). Until now, I've been reticent to share my writing, or even put my own stories down on a page. I recently befriended a published author who got her start here, and she pointed me in this direction. Her encouragement -- and this "safe space" -- feels like a great place to build those creative muscles. A few highlights of the week:
- Got started with some initial posts and crits
- Wrote a pitch paragraph and logline for my first idea ... oh so tentatively
- Started fleshing out the main characters and their central dramas
- Working on a chapter 1 outline
So far ... so good. And it's only Wednesday.
Welcome UntoldStoryteller!
I second this.
