It's Me

Sakkasie · Mar 8, 2011

Hi everyone. My name is April and I'm a transplanted Canadian (Vancouver) living in California. My very first piece of fiction was written in the first grade when I forged a note from my mother in purple crayon telling the teacher I could stay inside at recess. At least that's what I thought I wrote. Clearly, I was born to be a writer.

Unfortunately I seem to be the only one of that opinion. Nothing published but much written. Writing doesn't pay my bills so I pretend to be an accountant during the day. I sort of wish I was pretending to be a rock star but oh well. The repetitiveness of accounting leaves a lot of time to daydream.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and reading everyone's work. And maybe even writing a bit. Maybe.

Welcome.

Cute anecdote about the first grade thing. Save it in the back of your mind for when you ever write a children's book.

Hi, and welcome, April. :welcome:

Loved your story about first grade.

I have this strange picture of you doing your accounts in purple crayon.

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.

It wasn't the purple crayon that was a giveaway, it was signing the note 'April's Mother.'

Welcome to the boards!

Hi April- Welcome to the AW! I also began writing at a very young age-I was 8 when I wrote my first poem. Loved the story about first grade by the way. You will find plenty of great people and helpful information here.
