So...
I lurked for a year or two, then finally decided to start writing, and presenting you my works... well work. I've written a couple more books before, but I won't post them.
Too amateurish!

Anyway, Royal Road...
It has made me find my true passion.
I thought I was destined to wander aimlessly in life without ever finding what I truly loved, what I was made for (silly me, not understanding that fiction writing should have been my thing when I, constantly, devoured every book, novel, comic, and manga which was placed in front of my eyes), it took me 29 years to find out!

So, all I really wanted to say is... thank you Royal Road; and I hope publishing my first (worthy) book here will be enough to show you how thankful I am toward those who have made the existence of this community possible.

Without further ado...
I welcome you all to the worlds I create, hoping you'll have the same wonderful experience which I've had, traveling through yours. 

It is great that you have finally realized your true passion. It is never too late to start fulfilling your dream. I hope that now, as you are out of the shadows and truly embarking on the road of monarchs, you and your work will have a blast!

Thank you, kind, fellow citizen.
I'm reading your work, and I'm really enjoying it btw.

I can truly sympathize with you, it took me some years longer than you to even consider writing and so far the experience has been... liberating.

Welcome to the writing side of Royal Road. Took me a bit longer than 29 years to finally start writing, but it was the best decision I ever made. There's just something about sharing something you created with others that's quite thrilling. Enjoy the ride and good luck with your writing.

Welcome aboard!

It's a wonderful experience when we find a way to follow out passions!

I hope this proves to be a wonderful experience for you.
