Hi everybody. I'm an aspiring writer of...no fixed genre, really, just anything that crosses my mind. Currently, I have two novelettes and three short stories stored in my database (my Dell Inspiron). I hope to refine my "career" on this site :).

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.

Welcome to the party, Fillipe! Try the punch.

Don't be shy getting those short stories out to publishers. You never know what will come of it. It still amazes me and seems very surreal that I managed to get all my stories published in various 'zines and anthologies. I even managed to win a couple of contests and make a little money as a result. I'm not bragging (Yeah, right! Show me a writer who doesn't. lol), just relating my experience thus far.

As far as novelettes...well, they CAN be a tough sell in my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong, Water Cooler denizens. It never hurts to try selling them to pubs who accept novelettes, but while you're waiting to hear from them, you might want to consider expanding on the stories. Just my two cents.
