Hi,
First of all, I feel a little strange creating an entire thread that is essentially just...hello, but you know, jumping into things might be confusing and awkward without such a post. For me. Probably not for you.

Anyway. I live in New Zealand, whenever I'm not writing essays I write-write, I suppose to keep sane. The essays are for my BA (of course), the writing-writing is for me and, thus far, I haven't progressed to an audience yet, mostly due to a bad experience with a creative writing course at uni which was kind of the worst thing ever. I hope this forum will give me information/confidence/all those things one might need to get into this gig properly!

Favourite authors? I like Graham Greene (always) and Virginia Woolf (sometimes) and Robin McKinley (sometimes) and JG Ballard (always).

The pressure of this first post! It will set the scene for everything!

I've already gone on too long.

What I really want to say is hello and this place looks like fun! :)

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.

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.
