Thank you both for the warm welcome.

I think that the main issue with writing is that I am not good at certain parts (well I don't consider myself good at any of the parts), take dialogue for instance - it always feels contrived, I can't depict sexual encounters, I find it incredilby difficult to progress a story and not over doing it on detail or or drowning in the protagonist's thoughts. But I recently thought of something that I want to explore in writing so I might just do that, chop it up into practicing blocks as per your suggestions, write about a minute here and some dialogue there, a chapter of minimal length

Thank you for the words of encouragement Solis.
