Writing.Com General Discussion

I haven't been on this site in about 7 years! I came back due to curiosity, I wanted to see if people were still active and see if my writings had gotten any more views. The site still works and there are some users, so that is a good start. I write sci-fi and adventure in short story format but I have not written in a long time (years) due to college and work. I would like to get back into writing does anyone have any words of wisdom? If anyone wants me to review short stories I am knowledgeable about many military matters and have lived abroad for a while, so I can offer solid advice on stores in those categories.
