Yes, though I feel a terrible fraud. It's not like I've had to worry about plot, or backstory, or characterisation, or dialogue or all the other stuff that real writers deal with! Still I'm just amazed I've had the courage to post anything at all.

Most of the writers I know feel like terrible frauds. I know I do. :) Welcome to the club. I get a lot of help and encouragement from several people who are far better writers than I am, and they all tell me that the key is practice. You're off to a really strong start -- I'm sure people wouldn't have guessed how new you are to this if you hadn't told us. I'm glad you posted, and I hope you keep posting.
