I've been looking for a good forum to start building contacts with other writers. I think I found it!

I'm new to the writer's scene. I've been writing on my first book for about 14 months now and I'm learning more each day about how daunting the task is. However, I am not new to the forum scene. I regularly post on 2 other large forum sites.

So a little about myself, I serve in the U.S. Navy. I'm currently stationed in San Diego. I'm 23. My book's genre is cyber punk/high fantasy. My favorite authors include, in no particular order, Terry Brooks, Brent Weeks, Tad Williams, Ernest Hemingway, and T.S. Elliot. If you'd like to know anything else about me, feel free to ask.

I look forward to meeting everyone.

Hello and salutations. I just joined this forum as well and it hasbecome my new favorite place to hang. Everyone has been so nice and welcoming. I think you' like it here.
Do you get a lot of time to write while youre active or do you forego sleep, lol?

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 for the warm welcomes everyone.

@pandora- While in port, I have my evenings like anyone else with a job to write. Underway (at sea) I work 18-20 hour days. So I've learned how to get a quick hour in to exercise, and fit around an hour or so a day in writing...using time like lunch etc for quick naps.

@cactus-I like my popcorn with extra salt and butter. And if I'm really lucky with some snow caps mixed in.

Hi Forlorn Radiance, welcome to the AW Water Cooler.

A cyberpunk/high fantasy mix sounds intriguing. Good luck with your book.
