Hello LegendFire Community,
My name is Ariel (and yes, I was named after Disney's The Little Mermaid) and I've been writing for quite sometime as a hobby. In fact, I've been worldbuilding for a novel since I was thirteen! Reaching to my thirties now, I want to eventually publish what I've been building for so many years. I have other story ideas in mind that I hope to share in this community. I do work full-time as a barista. Ideally I would like to go back to college/university to take some courses in creative writing and gain more knowledge. My boyfriend of three years, however, suggested I come on to forums like these to learn and get my writing critiqued.
When I don't make latte's or work on my novel, I do enjoy drawing. I've been known to draw dragons and other animals whether fictional or not. I do also enjoy visiting the theme parks! I live close by and tend to visit when I can. My favorite ride would be Flight of Passage in the Pandora section at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Visiting the movie theaters for me is another activity I like to do when I'm not in the mood to visit the theme parks. I tend to be drawn into fantasy, science fiction, action and comedy movies.
Anyway, pleased to make your acquaintance!
Ariel

Hello, Ariel! A pleasure to have you. We've been needing a barista to operate our coffee fountain in the writing room since our reopening, so I hope you'll stick around and show us the ropes. The gremlin who volunteered for the job keeps washing his hands in the coffee, which is a slight problem.
Coffee-addict silliness aside, I hope you'll soon feel at home here. Your dedication to world-building for so many years is extremely relatable. *nods to emphasize this* We can definitely help and encourage you as you take next steps.
If you have any questions about the forum or the process, just ask. I'll send you a message with some handy forum links as well.
See you around!

Greetings and salutations, Ariel, and welcome. If your avatar is an example of your artwork, you're good. I draw stick people but I'm very good at hangman.

Greetings and salutations, Ariel, and welcome. If your avatar is an example of your artwork, you're good. I draw stick people but I'm very good at hangman. As of right now, its from someone else. But its similar to what I draw. I hope to create my own avatar though in the future!

Greetings! My son is a barista, too. It can be a thankless job LOL but you are VALUED!
I started on this forum in my thirties, and I was a terrible writer. It's been an adventure and a long path, but what I learned from here made all the difference. It will be great to have you around! Welcome aboard!
