Hi there,

I recently got it into my head that I wanted to write a book. So here I am - no clue what to do, no experience (other than on the reading side of things) and a story or three in my heart that have wanted to come out for years. I just never let them... I'm finally giving in :)

I found some interesting threads here and have been lurking for a few days, but figured getting into the deep end, I'll probably need some help along the way... *blows up water wings*

So I wish I could tell you about the fantastic short stories and novels i have written, but there aren't any.... i better get started on that outline :)

anyways... just wanted to be polite and say hello, so:

"Hello" :)

hope to learn a lot from you guys and maybe, one day, be of help to others.

Cheers and Slainte

Hi Midnightpumpkin,

Congrats on deciding to make a go of it and getting those stories down onto paper. You're on the first steps of an exciting journey. I hope you enjoy it. There's a lot of excellent resources here and I'm sure you'll be able to make good use of them.

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.

Hi, and welcome, midnightpumpkin :welcome:

Lots of help to be found on the boards, but be careful, they do suck you in and you might find very little writing being done.:D
