Sylvia's Dream

[Sylvias Dream]

Hi there

I am Sylvia, I live in Yass, NSW, Australia.
I have been on Christian missions overseas for 25 years. I am now spending most of my time, reading, writing, editing and doing a Creative writing course with Open Universities.
That's quite a challenge for a 77 years young lady.
I have 4 books published and now working on my 5th book titled Manifesting Miracles Now.
I would really value opinions on my book cover and also my website at
www.sylviasdream.com
I am still working on this post:

Welcome to you. This board's moderator will be along soon enough to share some links new members find helpful. It's a big site and easy to get lost!

I'll point you toward the Religious and Spritual Writing board, which has several sub-boards (is that even a term?), including Christian. My understanding is that there are stretches where these boards have little activity, then someone--often someone new--posts something that sparks conversation and it livens right up.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

You'll love it here, I'm sure. AW is, in my opinion, the internet's premier writing place, with all the info you'll ever need on all things writing and publishing, and home to an amazing community, to boot.

Please carefully read the Newbies Guide you were linked to when you registered, as well as the stickied/pinned threads at the top of each forum page. These will help you quickly understand not only the forum rules, but also the culture and etiquette of the various spaces within, and will also help make the forums less overwhelming.

There's a lot to discover, so please take your time exploring, lurk if you like, join in conversations you find fun or interesting if you like, make friends, enjoy yourself!

And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

(As a note: this part of the boards isn't the place to ask for opinions/critique on websites, covers, etc. There are more specific places around the forums for that )

See you around the boards

Welcome, Sylvia! You'll find lots of fellow Ozzies on the forum. And, of course, many neighbours of the Superior Life Form variety (Kiwis).

Welcome, Sylvia.

Yass must be a bit nippy at the moment!

How did you find the Open Uni course? Every now and then I have a think about doing a writing course with them, but have yet to commit. I'd be interested in your perspective.

Welcome, Sylvia!

Wow, 25 years of travelling overseas must give you lots of inspiration for writing! And it's never too late to start. If you've got stories to tell, you must tell them!
