Hello From a Young Newbie!

Post by AllisonAnne »

Hello Everyone!

I joined CC a day or two ago & after lurking around for a little bit, I’ve decided to take the plunge to jump in and introduce myself! My name is Allison & I am currently an accelerated distance learning college student... which basically means I’m in the process of earning my bachelor’s degree really, really fast in an nontraditional manner. ;) I’ve enjoyed writing ever since I was a child & over the years I’ve been blessed with many great opportunities & teachers who have helped me grow as a writer.

Right now, because of my unconventional college path, I have some time available to focus on writing. I was googling information on part time freelance opportunities the other day & came across some positive reviews for this website. I decided to create an account & check things out here. I love the idea of doing something I love & earning money for it! Last night, after spending hours upon hours pouring over the guidelines & forums I finally decided to take the plunge & submit my very first article.

I’m a bit apprehensive about everything simply because I’ve never really done anything like this before & I have no idea how I’ll do, but I figured I might as well give it a shot & see what comes of it. I love the way this website is structured & how supportive the community here seems to be. If anything else, I’m really looking forward to growing & learning even more! If anyone has any wisdom or suggestions to share with a young newbie, I’m all ears! :) I look forward to all that lies ahead!

Thanks for the warm welcome! No worries about the delay, I definitely understand! So far things seem to be going well. I ended up submitting two articles right off the bat & both of them were accepted with no problem. I was pretty surprised! I'm looking forward to being more consistent in writing and getting things submitted! I'll make sure to hop in & ask questions whenever they come up!
