I just recently joined MScribes after a friend of mine heavily praised the site. When I first checked it out a few months ago, I found the articles fairly helpful, but not enough to bowl me over. After he suggested I check out the forums, however, I was very impressed and surprised at how many intelligent writers and aspiring writers there are on here! It's a bit intimidating at first, but when it comes down to it, we're all here because of a shared love for the craft. And with the interaction between everyone, there's no lack of good ideas or potential for growth as a writer.
I love fantasy writing, but have never ventured into it personally. The immense amount of work to create the world, languages, histories, races, etc.. is both intriguing and daunting. My first love is Science Fiction. I confess I haven't read that many novels, I would rather write than read. But I intend to read more in the future because I know that it can definitely open you up to new ideas as well as improve your writing.
I am currently working on a sci-fi novel but am still in the preparation stages. I sometimes have a very difficult time getting past this stage, where I am struggling to put all the pieces together. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Also.. how many of you have music playing in the background to help in your writing? I do that often, but I have probably more unusual taste in music than most people on here.
Anyhow, glad to be on board. Looking forward to conversing with you all!
