Hiya, AW

I'm a newbie (this is my 2nd day, woo-woo) and I'm thrilled and fascinated by the wealth of information and the diversity here. Honestly, it is a bit overwhelming.

I'm looking forward to exploring and hope to find some writing/reading buddies. I working on a paranormal ... 57,561 words and counting

Welcome.

Thank you, alleycat. BTW, your avatar looks like my kitty, Jaws, hee, hee.

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.

Thanks, CACTUSWENDY! You guys sure know how to make noobs feel welcome. About that popcorn ... gosh, just scoop out whatever you've got, yum!

Welcome to AW, CWM. Congrats on your word count thus far and good luck in the future!

Cwm · Feb 27, 2011

Thanks, PAH13. Sometimes I think the word count feature wreaks havoc on my OCD proclivities, though. Just sayin' LOL.

BjornAbust · Feb 27, 2011

Nice wordcount~
Welcome!

Yeah, there's a LOT of info here on AW, but it was the best place I found to look for it, thanks to the veterans, who call bs when they see something plain wrong. And everyone else, too, who share their victories and rejections, good laughs or hugs when the day job threatens to kill your creativity...

I'm sure you'll love it here!

True that! Love it already ... I've got one of those creativity-sucking day jobs, sigh.

Looking forward to seeing you around the boards!

Thanks, Neighbor (I'm from Georgia)! Do you have a work in progress? Or have you progressed to the dreaded querying stage? Regardless - sending good thoughts your way.

Also a newbie, welcome!

I recently finished my YA Paranormal Fantasy w/ werewolves... If you are looking for a beta, we could consider swapping. I'm working my way up to 50 posts so I can get some more feedback on my chapter one.

Congrats -- and absolutely, I would be interested in a beta swap once I make my 50 (assuming you are still in the market). Although mine isn't YA, and doesn't have werewolves, sigh. I'll definitely touch base with you. Thanks and see ya around the boards!
