I actually came across this site a handful of months ago while searching about a writing topic. I found the threads and responses rather helpful. Came back a few more times until I decided I'd join and try and participate.
I don't have a lot of official experience with writing, nor taken any courses. I have, in the last year I'd say, purchased some guide and reference books on writing, fiction, plot, character, point of view, description...even snagged a grammar book that made things a lot easier to understand than the god-offal english/grammar books in school :S
I've been experimenting since I was about seventeen and only in the recent couple of months has a very intriguing idea come to me. I'm currently working on a serial-type scifi story and have finished a rather detailed draft for novels #1 and #2. I'm really excited, but very eager to learn more about writing so I can give my all.
A negative for me is how limited of books I've read. I'm cursed with a picky personality and can barely get through a few chapters, let alone a few pages on very popular books. I know this sounds bad and makes me look like I don't take writing seriously, but I do. I know I'm far from being a good writing, but I want to learn how to get better. I get ideas and visions for stories by the minute and would like to craft them to their full potential.
