/lit/ - Literature

I've been an art fag for a decade. and only just recently am I realizing I might be more interested in creative writing. I love stories and always have before I started doing art, but I tried to learn art as a means to an end making comics and such. But even after I fell out of love with them I kept doing art mindlessly and started to feel lost. I have read next to nothing in my damn life besides comics and manga, but the first few actual written word reads I fucked with I felt so immersed and emotional that I was honestly surprised. feeling the characters struggle, their intensely emotional turmoil and shit felt like such a breath of fresh air. I want more of this and I wanna know where to start. Things to read and how to study some creative writing. I don't stop by /lit/ almost ever. Been here once or twice and saw people shit posting about philosophical shit that nobody cares about so I fucked off. I don't know how to describe the things I actually want to read but I will say I think being an art fag for so long honed my sense of visualization and now I'm sensitive to it. so the more potent and immersive the better. I'm gonna try looking through the science fiction and fantasy threads for anything up my alley.
