Hello all, I'm a new guy here.

I've been reading everything, including the back of ketchup bottles, since I can remember, and writing fiction since I was fourteen or so. We'll draw a veil over the awful poetry. Writing is, basically, what I enjoy doing most in my life (which gets interesting when I try to ditch parties to do it). When I'm not writing or at my day job, I'm also sloooowly working on a BA in Literature.

I dipped my toes into the business of trying-to-get-published when I was a teenager, but it never got anywhere serious. Now that I'm in my mid-twenties, I'm giving it a proper go, and am slowly working on building a respectable cache of rejections. :D

Behind you!
I kind of wish I'd saved my first big batch of rejections to use as bulletin board background, or perhaps decoupage for my desk. Oh, well, I'm sure there'll be more.

Anyway, welcome to you!

Maryn, working on something sure to be rejected

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. Good luck.

Welcome. You made a good beginning -
I can even remember H.P. (= Houses of Parliament) Sauce bottles when they had the back of the label in French "la sauce H.P. est un melange des fruits orientaux" and it's never been as exciting since.
