Noticing Newbies

Here I am, all new and stuff. I've just completed my first year of college and the English class was super boring. Writing for school can be traumatizing, I think. So I'm going to try to write for fun. I'm trying to learn how to do the research for writing up certain plots and everything, so that my writing has some cred. And I want to outline a HUUGE story and be able to critique its weak points and what I should tweak. I basically want to be objective and open to change and stuff. I enjoy philosophical talk, but I'm not a philosophy buff. I'm trying to be a whole accomplished person on my own- because that's what everyone's supposed to be. They're not made up of a jillion different people's opinions and stuff. They're just them. So- Yeah, my ultimate mission is to be an awesome whole autonomous person.
