What's happening?

I recently started the querying process for my novel and thought I'd join the site for support/commiseration/a distraction so I don't put my head through a wall waiting for agents to reply.

Also, thank you to all the members who unknowingly answered my questions while I lurked on the board for the last year. This site has been an incredibly valuable source of information for me.

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.

Greetings. :) This site is very helpful. I haven't gotten to the publishing stage yet, but I hope someday I will and it's nice to look through the boards, see other people's predicaments, and read the advice given. Welcome to AW.

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 welcoming words.

I'll do my best to help out around here whenever possible. I'll also keep you updated on any new developments in my world. So far, I've had two partial requests that didn't pan out. One because the agent wasn't interested and the other because I was fortunate enough to read the warnings on this site about Charlotte Gusay and her $35 fee. You guys have already saved me a little bit of money and a whole lot of frustration.

In my stories.
Good Luck with querying. I'll be there soon ( I hope!), and I'm dreading it!

Welcome!

I'm at about the same point as you are - I'm about to start querying. Just have to get my query all shiny first. :)
