Hello All.
I've been looking around for a good community to join to help encourage me to actually write my fantasy novel. I was discouraged from writing when I was younger (as an adult now, I don't know why my parents always criticized my writing...I was only 7!) and now I realize that I actually want to have a creative outlet.
My problem...I'm not actually a very good writer. I feel that I have good ideas, and I am creative enough to come out with a decent story, but the ability to actually structure dialogue and frame a scene really worries me. There is so much that I am undecided on that I am afraid to start.
One question that I have not yet been able to answer is whether I want a first person perspective, or 3rd person omniscient. There are aspects to the latter that I like, but I am more familiar with first person.
Any recommendations in helping to make a decision?
