Hey there,
I'm an aspiring writer myself. I've been writing on and off, just little short stuff for about 25 years or so. I became a single father in 2006 and got laid off in. I'll be honest, my first thought was "Hey, if JK Rowling can do it...". I quickly found out why everyone didn't do it. I kept at it, completing my first Nanowrimo novel that year. Needless to say, it sucked so bad I almost beat myself up for having written it. But, I kept at it. I do Nano every year, and I've always won (except for last year when I had a stroke on thanksgiving). I've completed four novels now. Two of them are still sitting untouched and unread. One has been through about 8 drafts and is with a beta reader now. I'm going through the other one now, a dark Urban Fantasy. I really like this one. My protagonist is a guy who has no magic (that he knows about yet), but he has two really cool things about him; 1) He can't be affected by magic at all. Whether it's cast by Butters or God, it can't touch him, and nobody knows why (yet). And 2) He can use his third eye, but only when he has alcohol in his system. Problem is, he's an alcoholic. I have a seven book series planned for him, so we'll see how that goes.
In any case, that's me so far...

Welcome! You've set yourself a wonderful journey! And as Chaucer tells the story the more on pilgrimage the better!

Hello everyone, name's C.W. i'M 26 and I've writing since I could pick up a pencil, I've been working on this cyberpunk fantasy for many years now. I'm trying to finish up the first story and get it published in the near future, but working takes so much time from me, but it's my ultimatum goal to do this. I love to read for others who are trying to make it out just like myself. But I've also had other ideas for other stories I would like to work on in the future, but need to get through that first hurdle before I jump the gun. The cyberpunk story I'm working on is in a dark future filled with inspiring anti-heroes but villains that you can relate to and understand and reason with. Anyway it's great to meet with you all and chat. I wish you all luck and hard work on our endeavors to become great authors, thanks.
