Hello @Skray and a bug welcome 👋🙂

I LOVE your addition to the Group Fiction Writing. It's great to have you here...looking forward to more amazing contributions and getting to know you 💕

@Oaktree tagging the creator of this fabulous thread 👋

TY for the welcome!

Given my confidence a nice little boost. 😊

Have even now had a turn on the story thread. What a great idea.

Two firsts. Posting to a forum and replying to a post. Never done creative writing before...

@Skray

Creative writing is so fun, you should keep it up. You are good at it. The more you do it the better you will get too. I haven't written for a while so I am out of practice but I feel like I am improving along the way. The group writing thing is fun because you don't have all the pressure of moving the story on. You just add whenever you feel like it. I am glad you have found us here. I hope you find your niche. Welcome again.

Hello @Skray

Welcome to a whole new world where people are supportive and wanting to help.

Sounds like a non-reality.

It is virtual, however, the caring and compassion is real.

I have had varying levels of, and as a result, different symptoms of anxiety for many years.

I hope that I do not become the response making it "too many saying hello".

I feel for you and as others have said it takes great determination and strength, that we are not aware that we have, to push through our anxiety and follow through with something that matters. On some days just getting out of the house.

Far more energy isused to show up.

Take care, read, accept, learn and feel a part of our forums.
