Noticing Newbies

Hello to all writers.

I am very nervous about my decision to get back into writing again. I started writing back in 2007 when I was staying with my son for awhile. I was even taking a writing course which I never finished. I lost my confidence in myself as a writer.

I am hoping being here will help me to relax, learn and finish at least one story. There is just so much to do on this sight. I feel like before I can even start to write it will take me years to even figure out where to start. So I am not really sure where to go from here.

I have an idea for a story/book that has been buzzing around in head. I am not sure how to determine what gender it is. I feel that a lot of my fear of writing is the trouble I have in getting what is in my head down on paper. Plus I get distracted trying to read things about sites I look at and how to do this or that. Then I just quit because I feel I will never get any writing done if it is so confusing in trying to figure out what to read and what not too.

So please any suggestions of where to start without having to read everything about this site would be helpful.

I hope my rambling helps everyone to understand my fear and loss of confidence.

Thank you.
