Hello from an aspiring amateur!

[Orilindë]

Hello!

I'm excited to be here and learn from all of you. I'm 36 and just starting my journey as a fantasy writer, creating a world full of interesting characters and adventures. It's never too late to start something new, and I believe now is the perfect time to begin my writing journey.

I love writing fantasy and want to improve my skills. I look forward to being part of this community and learning from everyone.

Thank you for having me!

Howdy Orilinde, Welcome here.

Writing is the one craft where amateurs try to teach other amateurs to be pros.

Welcome aboard! At 36 I was courting H'Wood with screenplays and having them tell me things like: This is great! I laughed out loud! BUT! It'll never sell; write the novel first.

Pissed me off enough I stopped writing for a decade. I'm not a fan of Nike shoes, but they got one thing right: Just Do It. Start and don't stop until you're dead.
