@ShandyStella That's great! Welcome to the site, it's a great community :) This a great place for new writers to try out their skills and grow their writing into something awesome. I'm still learning a lot too, but the people here have really helped me to improve. I'd suggest starting small, with a short story or two to get the feel of how you like to work. There are lots of contests and book clubs to enter to help you along. There's also a lot of great writing guides here :) I have a reading list of some of my favorites if you want to check it out :) Here's the link:

I have a really long to-read list so I don't get around to reading and commenting as much as I'd like to lately, but once you've got some things started feel free to send me a PM and I'd be glad to offer suggestions :) I'm not an expert writer but I love to help out. Have an awesome day!
