Hello everyone! I have been receiving the AW newsletter for some time now and just noticed the forum mentioned so I thought I'd check it out. Boy, have I been missing a lot! I just found it today and registered after scanning a few of the posts. Everyone seems really nice and helpful. Can't think of a better place to hang out.

Welcome to Absolute Write, Andin. Yeah this is the place to hang-out, and since I'm here all to often, well let's just say I'll be seein' ya around.
Welcome!
Renee
Welcome!Renee
Thank you all for the warm welcomes! After reading more of the posts, I can tell that I will fit right in. I just need to let my guard down a little first and let it all out. I've been writing off and on ever since I learned to write, but I let life get in the way instead of helping me write. Now I am getting serious about it...it is no longer just a hobby! I want to write, write, write! I look forward to learning from you all and add my two cents in as well.
This is a good place to let your guard down. 
Glad you've decided to get serious about writing! What do you enjoy writing?

Hello Andin, welcome !
I noticed you posted a little bit in the greeting card area already, we'll probably see lots of each other

Jenna...I'm one that enjoys too many things so I move from one project to another. And not just in writing--I enjoy genealogy, decorating my home, etc. I guess that will keep me from getting burned out. I have several short stories and poems from when I was younger and writing more. Now I am looking forward to continuing writing these while also working on greeting cards and a novel (still trying to narrow down what I really want to write about since I am interested in too many genres). Maybe I should just write and see what comes out.
Hello there, Andin. Welcome to the boards. It's good to have you with us.I was curious about something: how long have you been writing? The reason I ask is that I've been writing a long time too, but like you have only recently decided to make something serious out of it. I think it'd be interesting to compare notes on this subject. See how many writers began just as a hobbyist and eventually made a career out of it.
Anyway, it certainly is good to meet you, and I hope you have a lot of fun here.
(By the way, I like that signature statement you made. The ark vs. the Titanic, that saying never seems to get too old to me.)
I hope you have yourself a good weekend! Talk to you later.
Welcome, Andin! These boards are wonderful, and everyone is helpful and friendly! It's a convenient place for any writer with questions, and we all have lots of them.
Hey, Sean...the earliest dated story or poem that I have is from 1988 so I was about 15 years old, but I remember writing even before that. I stopped about eight years ago using the excuses of getting married, having children, working, writer's block, etc. I would write a thought here or there, but no real writing was done. I just had the opportunity to become a stay-at-home mom last August so I grabbed it up and decided enough was enough.
Nicky...I'm glad that no one minds questions because I tend to ask a lot! Especially now that I want to do this right.

Hi Andin,
I'm kind of new here myself, but it seems to be a warm and wonderful (not to mention wacky) group.
Here's to adventures!

Wow! I have been away for so long that I decided to find my original introduction and update it a little!
I am still a stay-at-home mom, but I am also a college student again! I am taking three classes at a time to finish up my Associate's degree in Behavioral & Social Sciences. I should be finished by the end of the Spring term 2007. Then I will be going on to do my Bachelor's! I guess I just had to wait until my 30's to really get serious about school.
Since I was last here, I have written some more poetry, started writing a novel, and outlined the plot of another one. It's slow going right now with everything else I am doing, but I will get there eventually!
Thank you to everyone that had welcomed me previously. I hope to get to know you all better!

glad you found us - again. Don't stay away so long next time. And since I was not around the first time around - Welcome!
Welcome, Andin
They tolerate me - most of the time - and I find it terribly addictive at the cost of my other projects. Fascinating world in here.
