Hey guys.

I found out about AbsoluteWrite on the acknowledgments page of a book I read, and when I looked it up...wow. This place is awesome!

I don't really know what I'm doing--I've never joined a writing community or anything before--but I'm hoping I can figure it out as I go.

I write Young Adult Urban Fantasy, and I've been trying to get a book published for a while--and that's been oodles of fun. I'm looking for some kind of critique circle where we can trade novels, so if that sounds interesting to anyone, just let me know.

It's great to be here!

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.

I don't eat much popcorn, but if I do, it has to be COVERED in salt. Heart attack's the only way to go :)
Thanks for the hint about the forum jump.
How do I get to this free novella that might put a smile on my face?

Hey Periwinkle. It's nice to meet another YA writer! What subgenre (i think that's what it's called) do you write?
Me, I'm obsessed with YA Urban Fantasy :)

Hi, Deuce. I enjoy writing YA also. My work tends to have a general or current flavor although I call my last one a psychological mystery. Don't worry about not knowing what you're doing. I never do. That's what makes it so fun.
