New to You, Old to Writing

Hello!

My name is Fred Arnold. I am a Navy Veteran. I currently work and go to school full time, and I am pursuing a career in Journalism. I write for The Sandbox News, my school's newspaper. I volunteer and write newsletters for the Student Support Center they have there, and I run their social media.

I enjoy writing short length features that are mainly between 1,000-3,000 words, but I have always wanted to write a novel. I have gotten close a couple times with two projects exceeding 180~ pages, but I could never stick to it! I think it has to do with that writing stigma where everything you put on paper sounds like trash to you! Haha.

I work with HubPages a lot which has a great community, but it is not a website for longer novels and short stories. This is my attempt at finding a good place for that aspect of my writing!

Stay awesome everyone,

Welcome to the site! I hope you like it here! If you have any questions, just let me know!

I will not hesitate! The Website is pretty self explanatory so I'm getting the hang of it pretty quick!

Have you ever heard of National Novel Writing Month? It starts on November 1st, and if you've had trouble seeing novels through to the end in the past, it can be a really good motivator.

Also I like to peer-pressure people into doing it, but that's beside the point.

Anyway, if you want to know more, here is the official NaNoWriMo website.

Oh that site looks awesome!I'll definitely take a look at it. Thanks for the tip!

Usually I don't do peer pressure, but hey, how bad can it be??

Take care!

This is welcomespot, here to mock and destroy your dreams. (I locked the Jumpyspot in the closet! Haha!)
'Hello!'
Hi.
'My name is Fred Arnold.' Whatever.
'I am a Navy Veteran.' I'm a Time-Lord.
'I currently work and go to school full time, and I am pursuing a career in Journalism.'
Tough luck. No-one makes a living in that anymore, become a doctor instead.
'I write for The Sandbox News, my school's newspaper.'
I write fanfic about yo' mama.
'I volunteer and write newsletters for the Student Support Center they have there, and I run their social media.' Look at me! I'm so cool and great and stuff.

'I enjoy writing short length features that are mainly between 1,000-3,000 words, but I have always wanted to write a novel.'
lol, such loser. Much dumb. Jumpyspot's the same way, but he's not old like you. I love destroying your hopes and dreams.
'I have gotten close a couple times with two projects exceeding 180~ pages, but I could never stick to it!' You're like a spaghetti noodle. You look like one to.
'I think it has to do with that writing stigma where everything you put on paper sounds like trash to you! Haha.' ... n00b.

'I work with HubPages a lot which has a great community, but it is not a website for longer novels and short stories.' I work with a shovel and a mallet, maybe a couple of nails.
'This is my attempt at finding a good place for that aspect of my writing!

Stay awesome everyone,'
No.

'Fred Arnold' FAKE!!!! FAKE! SUCH FAKE!
'Staff Writer, The Sandbox News' That's totally fake to.
'fga1018@yahoo.com' Time to spam! Heehee!
Wow, that was mean. Whatever. In all seriousness: Welcome to YWS

You seem bored. You should try not wasting time and putting all that effort into something productive.

Stay awesome!
