Hello, my name is Lee, and I am an escapist. I've been an escapist since my parents read to me as an infant. I know, I know, it's not cool to blame one's addictions on others, but I'm just trying to set the record straight here...
Alright, enough of that. What I really require,now that I have become unafraid to ask for help, is sage advice concerning the murky, cess-like, field of PODdom.
Before I realized I had a problem, I disdained the whole*old school* approach to publishing. I was full of egoistic malice, and shot down print publishers and agents before they had a fair opportunity to shoot me down. So, naturally, I started right off seeking to pay a publisher to meet my demands. Sadly, my expectations for them, were, well...unmet.
Now, I believe it is time to face my fears and actually spend a year playing the collect rejections game, and so pass into the life of the unexceptional...and realist.
I have been a realist for two days now, and with the continued support of people like you, I think I stand a chance. Thank you.

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.

Many thanks pard. I'm always willing to lend a hand, but really, am I qualified? Popcorn? Uh, the only right way, I guess...popped in lard, plenty of butter, plenty of salt...am I making an enemy of a healthy heart nut?
