I am new to this....

Post by Barbara Goodman »

Hi Everyone,
My name is Barbara, I wanted to introduce myself.
I am 28 years old, married with 4 children. I am a stay at home mom.
I used to write little stories all the time when I was little, but as I grew up, I didnt really care about anything but boys and partying.

I have written a few stories about my kids, nothing really serious, just having fun. I do enjoy writing and thinking up stories. Mainly in my head, while relaxing. I think I would be good at this, although I have no writing experience. I also enjoy sketching, painting and photography, when I mentioned to A freind, that I would like to make a career out of any of those ubove or even writing, she, told me about CC, so I thought it was worth a try.

I guess I am just a little self consious about my writing abilities. I have read through this forum and alot of you guys are really good at this writing biz, and have had past expereinces with it. I dont have really any expereince. So I am wondering if I can even do this!

I have never went to school for writing, shoot, I didnt even finish school. I have never had a writing job.
Would you think that someone like me could do this kind of work and be successful at it, since I have no experience?

I guess I was just hoping to find someone here who's story is like mine. Mayby I can get some tips on where I should start, being a begginer.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated, and thank you for taking the time to meet me! :D

Hi Barbara,
Welcome! Go for it. I've seen highly educated people who can't write versus people who haven't completed their education who can so I don't believe a degree is required. Give it a try and see how you do.

Explore the site, get a feel for what it's about and have fun.
