I have lurked here for the past two days and decided to finally sign up. I hang out at another writing forum, but they have been down for a few days. Everything happens for a reason though and thier inablility to stay up and running caused me to search for other forums. I am glad I found this one because it actually looks a lot better than that one.

Anyway.. a little about myself.

I wrote a LOT when I was in school (elementary through high). My eagerness to write died down a bit for a while. A few months ago I discovered NaNoWriMo and decided to give it a try. I only got a little over 20k in words, but feel that I won anyway. Nano forced me to write and it got me addicted again!

Since then I have been writing everyday! I have only submitted one story for publication, but I am working on numerous shorts and a novel, all of which I would like to publish.

I blog. But so does everyone else in the world. Check out the link in my sig if you want. It is not too impressive, I just write about myself and my writing. The latest post is a little out of character for me. It is about the Eagles, and even though I like sports, I don't follow them extremely close and rarely write about them in my blog.

I always have an opinion, but it is not a hard headed one. My opinions are like my stories, if they need revision than I polish it up a bit. I may say things that people don't like, and I may say things that really don't matter much, but every now and again I come up with a gem, so I hope to contribute something to this forum.

I am going to browse more of the posts later, and you will see me around here a lot (right after I go to the grocery store).

and oh yeah... if you like could you give me a reputation click. I want to be able to upload my own avatar as soon as possible :)

Welcome, wmd.
Just so you know, rep points don't get you to your custom title and avatar, posts do, so just post 49 more times in forums other than OP and TIO and you're good to go on that avatar!
AW is a big place, enjoy your browsing and see you 'round the boards!

Welcome wmd!

As Stew says, rep points won't get you a custom avatar - but don't worry, you'll get there soon enough. :)

nano's great for getting the writing juices flowing again, isn't it?

:hi:

oh.. I thought I read in the FAQ that you needed 50 posts and 10 rep points in order to be able to upload a custom avatar. No sweat though I will have 50 posts in no time.

This is a big place. That is part of what is so appealing about it. So much to read and port about. I like how the critique section is divided into genre, and there seems to be a forum for everything.

I will definitely be here for a long time. Hopefully I can share success with you all.

Actually, you did read that you need 10 rep points... but everyone starts out with ten, so you're there!

And you're here! Welcome!

Welcome aboard the good ship Water Cooler, wmd. Yep, these boards are HUGE. If you started at one end, and browsed your way right through them, you'd come out in China. Or so I've been told. If there are more than a couple of brooms about, then it's not China - it's the broom closet. Pay your admission fee and we'll let you in! :D

Hi WMD and welcome to AW. It's great that you're writing every day. I should be, but I see to be hanging out at AW instead.

I don't blog.
