Hi Everyone,

I am newbie here. My name is Megan, I am 25 and I love words. I am so excited I found this site. I am an aspiring writer like many of you. I am looking forward to the community here. I have written in some form or another most of my life but I have only recently decided to take it to the next level. My ultimate goal is for my work to be published. I write fiction-primarily children's and YA. I also write poetry. I currently work part-time as a freelance graphic designer and writer. At my day job-I work in HR & administration. At my most important job-I am Mom.

I live on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay in Magnolia Springs, with my wonderful husband, our adorable daughters ages six and four, along with Buster the Beagle, Daisy the Basset Hound, and the aptly named Nemo Flowerfish Punky-the sometimes normal but mostly odd Beta fish.

I love anything creative including-writing, reading, photography and graphic design. I also love cooking, a wonderful tradition in my family. So, with all that said, you could say my plate is pretty full!

I would love to network with some other creative minds. I have just finished my first children's book, There is an Alligator in my Bathtub! I would really love some reviews and feedback for improvement on that story. I am also currently working on my first YA novel, My Sister's Secret.

I look forward to meeting other writers, and hopefully making some new friends :)

You can also check out more info about me on my website or by finding me on Facebook. The links are posted below in my signature.

Please stop by and say hello. I love meeting new people. I think that I can learn something from everyone that I meet; therefore, the more people I meet, the more I can learn.

Thanks for reading my post. I hope you have an incredible day!

There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

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.

Hello Megan

What a nice intro. Yes, you are a busy person. BTW: I had a Basset and what a great dog they are. Good luck with your writing. And feel free to pass things along after you've reached you required posts. Love to look at them.
