Hey

Grant Rhoades · Oct 19, 2005

Hi Everyone.

My name is Grant.

I’m just a novice writer down in good old Toronto. I’ve been writing for a while, never been published, never had the guts to show anything. I can honestly say I’m here to learn from the more experienced writers and hopefully show some of my work. Well, my first love is screenwriting. I just like the concept of it. I also enjoy creating characters; the whole process is fun to me. I’m also into poetry and short stories. Well, that’s a little about me. Hope to interact with everyone and hopefully help out too!

Hiya, Grant. Well, looks like you caught the bug. And this is the kind of bug that lasts a lifetime. So welcome aboard, there's plenty of vacination shots around here to help out.

Hi Grant and welcome.

I'm just down the 401 a bit east of you.

That's cool. I'm moving to Brampton soon though, been in Toronto for almost a year. I'm planning to go the York next year for the writing program.

Nice to meet you, Grant. I'm across the lake--see that tiny figure waving? That's me. (Only time I ever qualify as a tiny figure, too.)

Hi Grant and welcome!

I new to AW, too and this was my first experience with a forum. My first post was to enter an AW contest and it was a very positive experience. I got to know other AW members and could see my work "published" when I posted my entry. I could also see the other entries along with mine. I think it's kind of unique really. When you submit work to a magazine or publisher, you don't get to see what else is in the incoming pile with yours...and you may have to wait quite a while to get feedback. There are forums where you can post your work. It's a good way to become comfortable with having others see your work and the feedback that I experienced and that I've seen with others has been positive.

I look forward to seeing some of your work here! Glad to meet you.
