Hello, All! Not only am I new to the forum, I'm fairly new to writing. I have a lot to learn and hope to gain valuable experience and advice from the thousands of wonderful writers here. I love giving and receiving critiques. I've had a good number already and they've already helped me grow as a writer.

I'm mainly a YA and fantasy writer, though I like to dabble in horror and recently, romance. As for my reading 'preferences', I don't restrict myself to any genre. If it strikes my fancy, I'm going to read it. I have five novels in the making, three of which I'm actively working on. I'll definitely be putting the forum to use in whipping them into shape. Hope I'll fit in around here! :D

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 Della

I joined today, but have had chances to look around the site. I think this place has a lot of good advice for us newbie writers! I have one book written, and another one started...while not thinking of the different ones I haven't put on paper yet.

Welcome to the party, Della! Try the punch.

Always good to have another horror writer in the group, even though you're only a "dabbler". Maybe the dabbling will increase over time. ;-) he-he

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 advice, CactusWendy! I'll worm around and see more of the site before inflicting anyone in the forum with my writing. :p
