Hi, I'm the new guy.

[MickCarranza]

Hey, everyone.

I'm Mick. I'm currently an active duty Soldier and I'm working on my first fantasy novel right now. I've written music, poetry and even RPG storylines. I'm a Christian and hope to make my next project an inspiring and challenging piece of Christian Fiction.

I'm truly looking forward to working with you all. Rock on and God bless!

Hi, The New Guy. That's kind of long; do you mind if I call you Mick for short?

I'm glad you can find the time to write while serving your country on active duty. Not sure how difficult finding time for something like that would be. It sounds like you're a prolific writer, with the various types of writing you've done, which also implies that you enjoy it. Great!

Anyhow, welcome to the Cooler. Mind you, it can get a bit chilly in here, but you must never mess with the thermostat.

I'm looking forward to seeing you around the Cooler.

God bless,
Zoink

 

[MickCarranza]

Haha, good stuff! That has to be the best welcome I've ever received. You can bet that I'll make every effort to return the gesture in kind! It's a pleasure to meet you, Zoink. If you don't mind me asking, what are you working on? (Feel free to PM me, considering that we're probably not supposed to plug our works this early in the game.)

P.S.

Anyhow, welcome to the Cooler. Mind you, it can get a bit chilly in here, but you must never mess with the thermostat.

That's just good punning right there.

Welcome to AW, Mick -- and thank you for serving. (And you guys can totally talk about what you're working on. It's what brings everyone here in the first place, really.)

 

[MickCarranza]

Hooah. Thanks for the kind words, both of you. It feels good to know that the long days are appreciated. 2.5 years to go. I can do this.

Welcome to the cooler, Mick! Good to have a soldier on board, never know when you might need one around here...

Hi Mick,

Thanks for your service.

 

[MickCarranza]

Welcome

 

[Wordcaster]

Welcome and thank you for your service. I'm not writing Christian fiction per se, but many Christian elements are being worked into my wip.

Talk to you on the message boards.

 

[MickCarranza]

Looking forward to it, brother. See you around.

 

[Frank Kelso]

Hey Mick: Welcome from another newbie.
Hang tough big guy and keep your head down.
Good luck and God Bless

 

[MickCarranza]

Hooah! It's refreshing to see so many Christians here in the secular writing community. At one point, I was honestly considering writing one of those cliche, best selling, self-help books that Christians write... then i had someone slap it out of me. Now, I'm shooting for Fantasy and Christian Fiction. (My current WIP is Fantasy with religious overtones.)

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. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….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.
