Hello

buirechain · Mar 2, 2011

I thought I'd finally get around to introducing myself, since I joined a month ago and haven't gotten around to posting anything else yet.

I'm currently shopping an earth-bound sci-fi novel to agents and have found the threads about Agents and Agencies quite helpful, so I decided to join and see what else the Water Cooler has to offer.

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, buirechain,
Congratulations on reaching the agent search stage. With luck, someday I'll reach that stage.

Hiya, fellow noob!

Good luck shopping your novel. The whole query process ain't much fun, IMHO! But I'm sure you'll find a lot of useful resources here to help you with it.

Looking forward to seeing you around the boards.

Thanks for all the welcoming messages.

And JoeBear, I almost wish I was back in an earlier stage. With all the rejections, it's easy to forget why I think my novel's good. Sometimes I have to go back and say, oh yeah, it has that going for it, and that, and that...

I much prefer to be writing. Fortunately I can work on my next project in between working up to that next rejection.

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too. Come along and pop on over to the Newbie Pub (at the top of the Newbie forum) and say hi, there's plenty of friendly faces that you can chat with and lots of banter. There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.
