Noticing Newbies

Hi,
I just signed up on recommendation of a dear friend when I asked her help on finding the right outlet for my writing. I’m 48 and have been writing since I was 9. I do writing of all kinds. When I began at 9, it was songs and poems. I enjoy educating and do quite a bit of health and wellness writing as well as self development stuff. Social commentary and inspirational writing are also areas in which I do a lot of writing.

I think I have come to the realization that I need to find a forum or outlet for my writing. I have a lot to say and social media isn't really the place for it. I would like help in finding what forums or outlets to use to do this. Do I write articles to submit where? Do I write books? Do I blog? Where? How do I find my audience? Do I do a combination of these things? I have done and considered that I would do most of them.
I have several writing ideas percolating as I have over the years and I’m tired of sitting on them.
Writing is one of my favorite things to do and yet I’ve done nothing with it. I desire to change that.
