Hello! I'm new :)

Hello! I'm extremely new to this site. I want to be a novelist, but I have no one else who likes to write or wants to review. I always see authors thank other authors in the acknowledgment part of their book for their feedback and patience. So I thought, "How do I get some of those people?" And I Googled something, I don't remember what it was, and it suggested this site. I've submitted a chapter of a book I am working on and have already received some great feedback. I'm new to giving feedback about creative writing, so I hope what I have given has been useful and/or helpful. I love the layout of this site and I'm looking forward to being an active member of this writing community.
I'm looking forward to people critiquing my work so that I can learn and grow. It can be as harsh as it needs to be, so long as it leads me to get better smile
