I got my start in writing with collaborative fanfiction. Eventually, I started doing original stories. I have lucid dreams, and I got in the habit of telling myself stories before I fell asleep so I could try to direct the dreams. Most of my ideas come from those stories and dreams. Nothing I write is ever set in stone. I'm constantly editing and polishing. If something seems bare-bones and not up to par, don't worry, I'm working on it. I usually like to hammer out most of a story before I go back and dress it up with more details. Disclaimer: I am a Christian, and, although I don't shy away from mature themes, I don't read LGBTQIAP+ or explicit sexual content (with rare exceptions). My knowledge of spelling, grammar, and punctuation all comes from my background growing up in the USA and using US English. Technicalities: I write in Google Docs using the free version of ProWritingAid as an editing tool, which I recommend highly. It has multiple English usages, too, so you can select the one that fits your country.
