New member - hi everyone!

Hello everyone, I'm new-ish here. I've not written in ages - I always make excuses recently, despite how much I love to write. I joined this site to find tips, prompts and more to help my writing journey. As well as that, I'm hoping to meet fellow writers, hopefully be inspired and make friends as well.

Hope to get to know some of you better!

Welcome! I would encourage you to write as much as you can. I know that it’s sometimes difficult to find time. But I also know that when I make the type for it I’m a much happier person.

You said you’re looking for prompts so here’s one I enjoyed writing off of a while back:

Welcome, Rey!

Is that a Wittertainment reference in your profile?

Hi! I'm new here too!

The last couple of years, I've made excuses for not writing, and it was probably one of the worst mistakes I've made. Recently, I decided to get back into writing, and it's been life-changing! I'm so glad I decided to write again, and it's wonderful that you decided to as well!

Normally, my writing consists of solely Fiction/Fantasy works, but right now I'm working on a story that also branches into Horror, History, and Religion!

It always helps me get started when I remind myself I have permission to write utter crap, and nobody has to see it until I've fixed it up so much it's not.

Welcome to you!
