I started sharing my fantasy series with some of my beta readers and they said that my writing has greatly improved over time. I began my career as an author with a self taught writing style and trouble with tenses. Now, thanks to my creative writing classes in college and my writers group meetings I have grown and evolved as an author. With my fantasy series, I am feeling a lot more confident as a writer and look forward to sharing it with all of you when the time comes.
For a writer, stories are children, and there are few pleasures as great as watching your children grow.
I think most of us start out self taught. The writing bug doesn’t typically strike in the midst of writing 101. Kudos for taking the classes and joining writing groups.
