Forward Motion for Writers

Well, it's been a while. So long, in fact, that I've had to create a new account. Things sure are different around these parts nowadays. I look forward to getting involved properly once again, and taking an active role in the FM community.

I have a blog, over at kwillblog.wordpress.com, and I am currently editing my first novel, while outlining my second. The two stories are not connected, so it's interesting to switch between them and see all the similarities and differences.

Short stories and poetry are weak areas for me, so I'm always looking for ways to improve there. Long-form stories suit me better, and I'm interested in exploring different media in order to tell those stories: novels, comics, radio plays, film and television, even stage plays. I haven't written in all these yet, but I hope to one day.

Looking back, I see a lot of poor work, and a writer with more potential than actual ability. It's easy to feel embarrassed by my past self, or even discouraged because my progress has been so slow. But the only way is forward. I've got plenty of un-written stories to tell, and plot bunnies galore.

Let's go!
