Just thought I’d poke my head up and finally say hi. I’ve got some very limited experience in writing though nothing very serious. Most I’ve ever written where short stories and one shots, and i’m always looking for ways to improve myself.
Glad you’ve finally gotten around to posting! Feel free to browse and ask questions. Most of the people here are more than willing to help out.
Hi! Good to have you 
Do you have an FA account or anything similar?
Greetings! I guess you could say I’m in the same boat you’re in. Always been pretty good at making background, but never really did any serious storytelling…yet. What kind of stuff would you at least like to try writing?
Welcome! ^.^
Welcome! Glad to see you here. 
My fa is http://www.furaffinity.net/user/asalis/ if you wanna browse some of my stories. Though i’m on all the sites under the same name. Deviant art, sofurry, inkbunny, and now very recently Weasyl. all of them you can find me just by searching my user name that i’m using on this forum.
Well I do have a deep connection to Sci-fi, and my most favorite genera of science fiction is actually the steam-punk genra. Just something about alternate past with some tech comparable to today’s tech only powered by steam just fascinates me so.
The best way to gain experience is to just keep writing. I think it’s also important to keep reading, so that you start getting a sense of what makes for good writing and what’s crap.
Asking other writers to critique your writing can be helpful too. I find it fairly often that I can see when a story draft isn’t working, but it often takes someone else’s eyes to help me see why it isn’t working.
I’m a steampunk fan too, so I’ll have to check out your stories!
Welcome to the FWG site!
