Newbie here. Came here because I'm starting to write again after a long break and I was checking out some of my favorite authors for writing advice. Finding Jim's livejournal was almost enough to convince me that there is a loving God, and then I find there's even a writing community on the site itself.
As for myself, I'm a twenty-six year old male who's dabbled with writing in the past but never really put in the required effort to complete a story to my satisfaction. The series I'm working on now has been bubbling in my noggin for about 6 years in one form or another, and I finally feel like I have a solid enough grasp on the world, the backstory, and the destination to get to work on a first draft. I'll definitely come to seek help here when I start running into problems.
