Starting Writing

So, having never posted anything before, let alone a story, I thought I'd make a blog post.

I'm going to be participating in NaNoWriMo this year, as I've missed out on it the last few years. As I've been consuming fanfic like it's going out of fashion for the past 18-ish months from this very site, and in particular have enjoyed Fallout: Equestria fics, I'm going to attempt to start one for my WriMo.

I doubt it'll be anything terribly original or earth-shatteringly new or spectacular, but I'm quite excited about doing it, as I've never really written any fanfic before, let alone any MLP fiction.
I'm keen to write something, and contribute to the fandom and to its' written content myself, as I've been enjoying reading other peoples' work, and writing is something of a passion for me. I studied writing at university, and have been writing my own stories slowly on the side to Real Life when I can; just never anything based in a previously created world.

When I get to the end of the month and see what I've ended up with, I'll proof-read and edit it, and post it on this very site for the perusal of others - if it's half-decent and not a horrible mess, then I might even continue it.
