Hello all,

So, I am coming up on graduation in a few weeks and have started to begin seriously thinking about starting a writing career (part-time for now since I need to pay off all my loans). In what genres you may ask? I am not entirely sure but it will most likely be in fantasy and/or historical fiction wherein I have a short story already in the works. But that is not what I am writing this posts about. I was wondering if you guys would be able to provide pointers of where to start.

A lot of my friends have told me that I should begin a sort of writing blog where I "publish" short stories or portions of stories so that they can get critiqued by the wider public. I agree with them, however, I do not know where to begin. Would any of you guys know of sites that would be good places to begin a writing blog? I am entirely ignorant of that side of the internet. Google search and multiple "guides" haven't helped all that much.

Also, I want to try my hand at digital art but I find my mouse to be much harder to draw with compared to a pencil/pen. What options do I/we have in applications that utilize a tablet-esc device and a digital pen? I don't expect to get to anywhere near Algrim's level of artistic skill any time soon but I would like to begin to provide artwork for my own fanon chapters/pages on here as well.

I know this is a pretty long post but I believe that this might also be a topic many fellow members might be interested in since we are all fellow fanon writers. Thank you for taking the time to read this, any and all pointers and suggestions are welcome. :D
