Noticing Newbies

Hello, you can call me Gryphon. I'm just a young girl, 18, who has always had writing as my escape. This is my first time signing up for a website like this and I would love as much feedback about my writing as possible. Even if it's not all good feedback. If it wasn't for writing, I think I might have given up a long time ago. I like my writing and so does my family, at least they like the pieces I've let them read, but I need people who will tell me the truth, because I've always had a dream of having something published.
