Hello, everyone! My name is Timothy!
As the title reveals, I created an account a while ago. It is late, so I will make this concise:
I am from a STEM background as an undergrad. However, my writing journey started when my parents "made" me read a ton (I enjoyed it too) growing up. Then, after Sophomore year of undergrad, I was joking with my sisters about writing a princess story with them, and said I would.
Here I am, years and 185K+ words later (One sister wrote one word, the other wrote 200). I graduated from undergraduate college, and now I need to edit the mammoth I created (I should have plenty of time for the next 15 months at least). It is not a princess story but a coming-of-age, archaic, world-building fantasy story. Not sure about genre, but leaning towards epic. I ditched the princess for 150K words, in fact.
So, nine months since I did anything major, I know I need to read it through (I want to in 3 weeks, but that might be much).
Any other overall tips? I know I need to rewrite a ton (it seems introspective versus action-oriented), but I am a committed type person, and I am committed to this, and I know a lot of the users here know their stuff, so I would love tips, and you all already taught me a good bit via your comments over the years.
