How do I start getting noticed as a writer?

[lisa]

Find a free publishing platform, look around the community see what others are writing! and if you feel you and your work would fit in. Having a good community around you is great as you can bounce ideas off each other. A blog takes a lot of work to establish, but I do suggest you use it as a place to find your feet and practice get your ideas out there (it is FREE) everything you need to know is on the net somewhere.
I started out like you wanting to get out there, and have found it to be a Fabulous journey, I am not a writer, but i am getting there and enjoying the success of it along the way

my advice just get out there a do it!
Good luck
