Noticing Newbies

Hello everybody joined couple weeks ago. I meant to write this sooner but as you all might come to know is that I procrastinate even with small things. Anyway, i finally got the courage, time, and confidence to post this simple message. I started writing last year but was too afraid to put my stuff out in public. So by joining this community i hope to improve my writing skills as well as become more open to sharing my work because i have a shy and fearful outlook on putting my stuff out but i can't be a writer without readers so for me its time to get to work. Criticisms good or bad are welcome; be as honest and upfront as possible and i will try to do the same for everyone. P.S that goes for this message too and i look foward to being part of this community.
