I discovered this site a little over a year ago and was inspired to pick up writing again. I won't go into why I stopped in the first place, but it sure does feel good to have writing back in my life. I discovered a funny thing while I was trying to figure out CPs. You see, even though I hadn't written anything in quite a few years, my writing has improved a lot.

I attribute that to all the reading I do (lots of different genres) and to learning what and where and when I can. I didn't think I'd ever write again, so I wasn't consciously working towards the goal of improving my writing. And yet, my ability to express myself through non-existent people, places, and occurrences was getting better anyways. Life is funny that way, I guess. :)

I've learned so much in my time on this site. We are learning all the time whether we're aware of it or not. Execution of an idea is more important than the idea itself. And criticism, as hard as it can be to take sometimes, is so very important for improving in many things, especially writing.

I'll end this with wishing you good luck in your writing and leave you with three last words. Read. Write. Patience.
