Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Revan · Apr 16, 2011

Hey everyone, another newbie here.

I want to write something that will change the world. The catch: I don't know where to begin. The ideas have been planted, but I require help from this community to nurture them into a full-fledged forest of fruition.

Hope to see you all.

So is the title a Lionel Ritchie song? The body of your post sounds like a Ten Years After song!

wonders whatever happened to "Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of weakth and taste"

Welcome Revan. I think most authors dream of publishing a book that reshapes the world, hearts and minds of children and adults alike, and at very least. . .their budget

It's nice to have you here; you've come to the perfect writing site. See you around.

I wanted my introduction to be classy.

Gotta keep the dream alive! Thanks for the welcome!

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.

Oh you know, into a better place, where the morals of my story can be applied universally in the real world.

P.S. Love the picture!

Hello and welcome. If you need a writing buddy/beta reader to get you going on those tough days, let me know!

Sounds like a plan. Although I'm not ready for beta readers yet, it'd be nice to have a writing buddy around. Tough days, indeed.

Welcome, Revan! Good luck on your writing pursuits! And I see that you're currently reading The Odyssey. Your thoughts?

Alessandra Kelley · Apr 16, 2011

It's a very good read. I'm not a critic of poetry, so I hold no authority, nor have I checked out other translations, but when I read aloud to myself (to imitate oral tradition), it feels epic. Plus, the translation I have has a glossary of the characters mentioned throughout the poem -- very helpful as I'm a foreigner in the world of Greek myths.

Presuming you've read it, what did you think of it?

My hat off to you for an awesome thread title! LOL! Welcome to the best place on the planet!

Hey, if the people here can catch the reference, it is the best place on the planet! Nice to meet you!

Welcome aboard! We also reference power metal and Fabio, but it evens out in the end.

Revan · Apr 16, 2011

It's unfortunate: I was intending to name the villain of my story Fabio. After perusing through some of the boards here, I can't help but picture my villain in a loosely fitted shirt -- if in anything at all.

Power metal makes up for it though!

C.bronco · Apr 16, 2011

There are many awesome threads here to peruse and discover. I'm sure you will have a lot to take in!

Savior, conqueror, hero, villian. You are all of these things, Revan... and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone.

...especially with so many Lionel Ritchie cracks going around the place. Allow me to welcome you to the Cooler as another newbie, and to express my admiration for taking up the mask and hood.

It was only a matter of time before someone figured out who I was. No matter, my Lionel Richie references make me untouchable.

Revan as in Darth? As in KotOR? As in Star Wars?

I like you, sir. I like you very much.
