Hello, all! I joined this writing forum a few minutes ago after a good long google search. This is the second writing forum that I have joined since I began seriously writing towards the end of last year and I am hoping that this proves to be a more compatible community for me. Looking forward to meeting and speaking with all of you!

Welcome!! I'm new here too. Hopefully you have a better clue as to how to navigate than I do...since you are no stranger to forums. :)

Every forum is a little different, but this one doesn't seem too confusing. It's quite large and it will be fun to explore the different topics and subtopics to see what kind of discussions are taking place. If I have any advice for someone who is new to forums, it would be to take a good look around to get a feel for the atmosphere of the particular forum. I'm enjoying my time here so far. It seems both laid back and professional at the same time. Pretty friendly, which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Rule #1 here is "Respect your fellow writer". Be sure to take a look at the Newbie's Guide and the other threads stickied to the top of the Newbie Forum for info on the site mechanics.

Enjoy!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I'll probably have some time later this evening for some real in-depth browsing.

Just one more thing. Remember, at least for screenwriters, the password is vista. I don't know if it works elsewhere.

What does "An Unsavory First Impression" refer to? Have I blinked and missed something?

:coughs politely in hand:

His username is "Unsavory." In the writing world we call them puns.
