Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this site for a couple weeks now and have finally decided to join. I have found tons of useful information and look forward to learning more.
A little about me.... my WIP is one scene away from being a complete rough draft. I feel it is bad luck to share too much information about it before its polished (call me superstitious) so you won't get much out of me about it.
I have been writing since I first learned to write and wrote my first book around twelve or so. It was later published but didn't sell well (there's a reason for that.)
I am living proof that writer's block does exist - I am just coming out of a one and a half year dry spell. The worst time in my life.
That's about all I have for now. Any questions, just ask!

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.

Hello and welcome,

It's just like riding a bike - once you get back on, it all comes back to you. And like a good wine, you just get better with age... Best of luck and celebrate once you have finished that first rough draft - always good to celebrate the small victories on ones journey.

Hi there, and welcome to the forums. Writer's block? I tend to call it 'life interfering'. At some stages of your life, you don't feel like writing. Then, miraculously, you find back the drive and start again.
