I'm pretty new to this app, joined yesterday, so I don't really know what's proper to do or not, but I thought I'd drop a message to you. I just started reading your book Dragon Rider. Your writing is quite good. I hope it gets the attention it deserves because I quite like it! Thank you for sharing your writing.

@kennedyta that's actually why I found this site in the first place. I'm trying to do things that scare me and sharing my writing scares me. Ever since high school (which was like 11 years ago) my writing has only been viewed by myself. But I don't want to live with any regrets in life and I've always wanted to entertain people with my writing like my favorite authors do. Unfortunately most my writing now a days is school essays (ha ha dumb college life). So I came on here to try and motivate myself to finish some of the works I've had in my computer for a long time. Go figure I'd find some amazing people too. Thank you for your advice and offer for help. I'm going to take you up on it one of these days that I'm stuck on something or struggling with my story. You're pretty awesome!

@ShastaV52 Aww, thank you, that's really kind of you. I'd really appreciate that. 
            BTW, just practice. That's the only way to get good at it if you want to make something of it. I started off pretty bad too, and I never wanted to publish any of my work because I thought it was terrible, but I kept trying, and a couple of my friends managed to convince me to let them read some of my ideas and they said they were good. That was when I finally got the courage to publish my stories, and I have gotten better at it since then. Now, I want to create a career out of it (even though I still have a long way to go before I even get to that point). So yeah, I guess the point of all this blabbering is to say just practice, and if you have any wonderful ideas (which I reckon you do) that you want to share with the world, don't be afraid of doing it. And if you want, I'd be happy to help along the way.
