lonelyboy1977
Dreamer
Greetings!!!
I'm not particularly good at introducing myself but I'll give it a shot. First things first, I am lonelyboy1977 though most people simply call me Ian. Much like everyone else here, I imagine; I have a love of reading and writing that goes back to early childhood. As for my reading preferences, I'm open to most genres as a book reader. But when it comes to writing I'm almost exclusively a writer of fantasy & science fiction; although I've been known to write poetry on occasions.
Although writing fiction has long been a hobby of mine, I've never really written stories with the intention of having them read by other people. But that is something that I am now seeking to change. My new year's resolution is to take my creative writing beyond being just an enjoyable pastime, to something that I pursue full-time, for the rest of my days. I've reached the point in my life where I'm tired of going through the motions of working a 9 to 5 job I have absolutely no passion for. I have come to the realisation that being a writer is my true calling in life, so that's why I've joined this forum.
Being a writer is potentially a lonely existence, and while I don't have a problem with solitude, I would prefer my path to publication (whether traditionally or more likely self-publication) to be a journey I undertake with travelling companions. I'm hoping that Mythic Scribes will be a place where I can connect with like minded writers, so we can encourage, inspire and help each other to achieve our dreams.
I look forward to getting to know you all better over the coming days, weeks and months ahead.
