A (Im)Proper Introduction

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing here. That's probably not the best introduction in the world, but I don't know how else to put it. I'm not a "writer." But I'd like to be. Maybe not a professional writer who actually publishes books because (let’s be honest) I highly doubt that ever happening for me.
The problem is, I have so many ideas, so many books I'd LIKE to write, but no idea how to start. I need someone I can trust to always "give it to me straight." Quite frankly, none of my personal friends or family even know I've always wanted to write. It's something I've been kinda sorta utterly terrified of. I WANT to find the backbone to write and I NEED help to get there.

You know, I think I just found what I’m doing here. By ranting.



Funny how that works.

Hi, Cain, I'm Meerkat.
Don't worry about feeling unsure where to begin in your writing—having lots of ideas is already a great start.
Have a great day/night, and welcome to YWS!

Thanks Meerkat! By the way, I'm lovin' your name.

Hey Cain, Welcome. It sounds like you have come to the right place. Which anime is you wall background from? It looks familiar. From what you have said the buddy system might be a great club for you to join and incidentally I have just become a mentor. Here is a link clubs/1127/wall
I look forward to seeing you around, Ferran

Yeah Cain, I've got the same problem. Loads of ideas but again no idea how to start! >__< but i'm hopeful that I'll find my way! I'm hopeful for you too! <3

Welcome to the site~

Welcome to YWS! Tbh, you're going to find a lot of people in your shoes on this site. They don't want to be professionals, they just enjoy writing! Which is the best kind, if you ask me!

Well, this is the place for you then! Everyone here will help you learn and grow! I'd like to chat with you sometime, if that's okay XD

If you ever need help with something, feel free to PM me! I'd be happy to help you out, if I can!

FerranWright - Thank you! By the way, my avatar is from Tokyo Ghoul, and my background is Spirited Away.

Reneia - I'd love to take you up of the chat offer sometime!

Hey Cain. Straighten that back of yours right up and get your pencil out. There is no way I'm letting someone with a passion for writing not get their chance at it.

But seriously though, get your pencil and an unused notebook lying around somewhere. Open to a page and start writing. Don't think, Cain. Just write.

I volunteer as tribute to ensure everything you get will be given to you straight. I'm cutting the soft pleasantries and all the push-over compliments. I know for a damn fact that there is a bestseller writer in you and I'll be a fool if I stand by idly and watch him stay in the shadows.

Hi, I'm Irene. & I am 100% sure I might be your answer.

It is the duty of a writer to give crarrier to ineffable and abstract waves he/she have in his tempest mind...you were successful in providing some , however you have a long way to go ...keep it buddy
