Hi! I'm Zaria.
I'm new to Absolute Write and a new writer.
I've wanted to write a novel for as long as I remember. I came across NaNoWriMo a few years ago, but didn't have the nerve to try it until this year, and I managed to win. Now I've caught the writing bug, and I'm excited to wander around here and soak up all the information I can.

Welcome!
I'm new here too, and also won NaNo this year. Still working on finishing the draft though... 50K was not the end.

Congratulations on your win! By the time I heard of that contest it was already December. LOL. Oh, well, maybe next year. As a Cubs fan I'm entitled to use that phrase.

Welcome! I'm also a newbie, and like you, the NaNo bug got me into writing years ago as well. There's something powerful in realizing you can reach 50,000 words in a month. :)
