Or at least a new writer. Hello, people of this community, may you be blessed with endless inspiration and many sales.
I'm not (yet?) published, but that doesn't hold me back. Writing is a craft, and never once has a craftsman been born to his skill.
It's however more than a craft for me, it's a passion and a major part of my life, and as such I hope to keep writing till my death.
I mostly enjoy fantasy that is not set in your typical middle ages Europe world. I'm currently toying with a fantasy tale set in ancient Rome.
I hope to make friends here, and both help AND learn.
Thank you!

Thank you for the welcome. I appreciate it. Currently I'm most worried about my action and description, I have a few published author friends, and they insist that I'm good with dialogue, but I tend to have little action, and just skip description.
Where would be a good place to get feedback on that?

Welcome to Forward Motion!

That's very true. Writing, revising and critiquing are all helpful ways to build on your skills. If you interested in exchanging critiques I suggest the Roving Critique board.

For getting a jumpstart on writing just for the fun of it, I suggest Justin's Daily Exercises:

Have a look around the site and if you have any questions, please ask.
