why...hello

[arataxia]

I'm definitely new here. I've been circling around for the last couple of days and have found a wealth of information. I used to be in the book industry, although on a completely different side (distribution).

I love to write, but find that most of it is complete and utter crap (unless it's a business related memo :grin ). I'm hopeful that my writing will improve, and that you all will inspire me (it's working so far)!

Thanks,

Rich

Welcome Rich

We'll do what we can. Have you discovered Writing with Uncle Jim in the Novel thread yet? It's packed full of information that is valuable for any format of fiction writing.

Take Care,

namaste? let's try to get a collection of languages.

irasshaimase (japanese)

intrate, omnes! ( i *think* that's the latin)

zhulph gfdstyuo; (for those of you hear speak martian)

i would write it in chinese but (a) i forget how to say it right now and (b) it's REALLY hard to do justice to chinese words with the roman alphabet.
