Hello everyone!:scared:
I am absolutely terrified of messing up my very first post here so I apologize in advance for making a dog's dinner of my introduction.
My nickname is Smoke, I live in UK and I found your community while trying to find a way of getting back to writing after a hiatus that lasted over a decade (and getting mightily overwhelmed in the process). To all intents and purposes I am a total newbie, wide-eyed, awkward and scared, starting from scratch in a new country, new language, new and unfamiliar publishing system :e2violin:- so, yes, I'll be tugging at your sleeves a lot, guys - please bear with me, I'm bound to get better with time.
(sigh of relief - I think I can come out from behind the sofa now.)

I'm fairly new to these forums, too, but there's no need to be scared. From what I've seen, everyone here is quite friendly and willing to help you out. Welcome, Smoke!

Nice to meet you. I'm a newbie too. From what I have read thus far this board sounds very friendly. It's nice to be able to share ideas with others in similar circumstances.

Welcome!
I'm originally from the UK too, but I'm now living in British Columbia. We're all good guys and girls here... or at least most of us are anyway. LOL

Don't be shy, we're all friendly - personally I'm a little too friendly for my own good.

Welcome Smoke-

Don't worry, you'll be fine!

I'm expecting Fire to join tomorrow.

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. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome, Smoke.
Tugging at our sleeves is better than biting at our ankles, which happens a lot around here (Haggis, Silent Rob).

You charged me $30 and 50 rep points!!!
