Forward Motion for Writers

Just a short post to say hello. I've been writing since I was a teenager but have recently started to take it a bit more seriously (though a "bit" might be an understatement.) So far I have two manuscripts and a handful of short fiction under my belt. No publications to brag about yet, but I am nursing a bruised ego from a few recent rejections. I alternate between modest confidence and extreme insecurity about my work. Hoping to learn a lot from this forum, and maybe help others do the same!
