Hi all. I have finally transcended my fear and self-lurking. I have scoured AW for many months, gaining invaluable insight from those fellow writers who are further along in their ventures. I have to thank all who have shared their tips and experiences.

I hail from the Jersey Shore long before reality TV invaded the beach. I have a background in technical writing and recently took the plunge into fiction, specifically romance.

After completing a few novellas and with the aid of your advice, I wrote, edited, polished, rewrote, reedited a MS for a call from an epublisher, crossed my fingers and pressed Enter.

Wishing you the best.
Nina

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 all for the wonderful welcomes and newbie tips.

I like my popcorn any way from straight up to caramel with chocolate chips.
