Signed up in May, posted today. What do you know, I finally found the place again. But finally I have circled back around.

Finishing up an mfa program in the twin cities, looking toward the future. Trying to plug into the various writing communities online primarily to hear what people are talking about, and to see if there's an online writers community that is a good fit.

My first impression is: my god, it's full of writers! How freaking many people are on this thing?

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.

Welcome mnsue. I found the number of writers on this site comforting. It made me feel less alone, other people in the same boat, etc. It also made me a little depressed because many of my colleagues are excellent writers and they haven't been published yet. On the bright side, several are excellent writers and they have been published. Welcome to AW!
