Noticing Newbies

Hi there, I'm Alsie and I'm 21. I'm a newbie to the site, but have written since I can remember. It's also been my one great passion, but I didn't realize that this would be the only career I would want to embark on until I entered my first year of college. I spend every day writing anything that comes to mind, but I've never had the guts to allow anybody but myself to read my work, which is a terrible fear to have as a writer! I'm hoping to branch out and quash my fears here! I hope to get to know everybody, I would truly love that! So... Hi everyone!!
