I joined here 9 days ago and I took the first few hours to look around and also check out some things which - in my opinion - are going to help me do well here.
So far, I've already subscribed to the following Communities on Hive;
Freewriters
Scholar and Scribe
The Inkwell
Writing Club.
I like how each Community has some sort of description attached to it because this made it easier for me to find the ones that are in line with what I hope to achieve by starting this journey on Hive.
Lemme tell you something about me
I love working remotely and I enjoy being a content creator because it enables me to think creatively. I know one or two things about image designing and video editing. I'm an avid reader (when time permits) and I'm not entirely new to writing, but I am weirdly developing an interest in a sort of writing which is out of my area of expertise - FICTIONAL WRITING.
I have tried this sort of writing back in 2020 and I don't rate myself high in that area. Whenever I compare my work with that of other fictional writers, I see a lot of loopholes. After trying this sorta writing for a while - just about 4 or 5 short stories, I called it quits.
Now, the interest is back and I want to learn. That is why I'm here. I want to learn how to be a good storyteller.
I bet this explains the choice I made with regards to the Communities I'm already subscribed to.
I would also plea with the pros on here to help with writing tips that can help me develop this skill. I've tried in the past and I gave up. Now I'm ready to go again and I won't force myself to learn everything at a go. I'm ready to go through the teething process while reading and practising.
I hope this introduction goes down well with the Community members on Hive. By the way;
Is it possible for a complete noob to get into fictional writing and become good at it?
How long is this going to take?
For the record, I'm thinking of publishing 2 or maybe 3 stories per week, for a start. I hope to do well here.
