hey everyone,
I go by Minate(mi-nah-tee) here. Though it's not my real name it is the name of the main character in a book series I'm working on who is basically an avatar of myself so I figured it would fit here.

As stated in the title I primarily write fantasy and have been doing so since the 7th grade, though I've yet to publish anything outside of high school literary magazines.

I'm going to major in English with a creative writing concentration once I transfer and hope to be able to make my living with my writing. However if I'm unable to I have early childhood education as a back-up.

Well I look forward to meeting all of you and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Minate

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. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, 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 for all the welcomes guys. I'm really looking forward to exploring the place. I've tried looking for writing forums before and they all are either not active enough and/or the number of board types was very limited so organization and finding specific topics was a nightmare. But it looks like this place will be a good fit.

Welcome to the club! I'm kind of a fantasy, sci-fi, horror, eclectic writer myself. "Wishy-washy" might be the more appropriate title.
