Hey! I'm a young writer in Fresno, trying to squeeze out my imaginative juices. I'm new at writing (my friends call me a "closet writer"). I am reading "No Plot No Problem," and if you are a writing Fresnin or Clovisian(?), then come on in!

Greetings Henna! I'm also about 5000 words into my first novel, and I can definitely relate to your situation. I've flirted with writing for about 10 years (mostly poetry and short stories) but lately the urge to write something definitive and stick to it has been a fixation, and I believe I'm in this for the long haul now.
(Just read your headline again - I don't consider myself young, but certainly don't consider myself old either - I'm 32, does that disqualify me? :-)
All the best;
