Hi!

Hey everyone!

My name is Brooke. I just joined Dreamwidth so that I can post my writings. I mostly do fanfiction (pysch and ncis), but I'm starting to get into original fiction, slowly. I didn't use to write a lot, because I was told I was not good at it. But after starting college, I had an awesome professor who said "I have a lot of potential" and worked with me a lot, sometimes one on one. Since that class I love to write, and he says I'm really good at it. So, I hope you all agree.

Brooke

Hi Brooke, welcome to writerslounge! I can't believe someone told you that you weren't a good writer - it's a skill like everything else and obviously your prof. helped to uncover your potential. I'm looking forward to reading some of your stuff.

Nice to meet you, Brooke!

Don't listen to the haters. Writing is something you can always improve on with hard work and practice.

Welcome, Brooke!

Writing is like a muscle - if you use it, it gets stronger. If you don't it atrophies. So yes, write, write and write some more! I'm a fellow NCIS fan, so I look forward to reading your fanfic. You can check out my profile if you want to find ncis-related comms to post your stories. You get more exposure that way because people will have those comms on their reading pages.

In addition to this community, I also recommend [community profile] writethisfanfic. It's a very active community and there are some very talented (and motivational!) writers on there.

Enjoy!
