Hello! Sometime lurker, new poster.

I'm a bit of a novice. I wrote many short stories in my adolescence and childhood, but I haven't written much in the last few years. Thanks to some desperately-needed ADD meds, heh (I swear this gets worse as I get older), I'm finally ready to jump into novel-writing gung-ho.

While I tend to gravitate towards genre-busters (paranormal sci-fi historical fiction? YES!) and literary fiction for reading, everything I have ever written is plain ol' contemporary fiction, or what some may refer to as "women's fiction."

Looking forward to hanging with you guys!

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, speakinghands! Try the punch.

I'm glad you've decided to jump back onto the novel-writing bandwagon, and "gung-ho" is perhaps THE best way to go about it. ;-)
