Hello all.

My name is John Frazer, and I really only write as a hobby. I work nights at hotel, and I usually have 5-6 dead hours a night, so I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting things to do with my time.

I'm more interested in reading what other people write than I am in writing a lot myself, though I do have a project I've been working on for the last year and a half or so.

I find my biggest challenge with both writing and critiquing is the distracting nature of the internet, which I hope to gradually overcome by making productive contributions, rather than simply wasting time reading television recaps and ancient webcomics.

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.

Hi John. I'm pretty new here too. Although I have to say, your job sounds perfect for an aspiring writer. Maybe I could swap?

And yes, it's certainly very easy to waste a vast amount of time on the internet. I'm kind of hoping (in an ironic sense) that this site will help me keep motivated with writing, because I have a tendency to get distracted. I also tend to prefer reading other people's writing to my own. I wonder if that's a bad sign or not??

Oh well, writing is for the fun afterall!
