Hi all my name is Jason and this is my first post. Well technically not my first post as I have succumbed to the lure of other forums in the past, but definitely my first post here. I am new to writing books of any sort, and as I love fantasy it seemed a wise move on my behalf to start there. So this is me letting you know I am here for help, advice and guidance from the old hats in the business and from the new as well. As time passes I also hope to contribute and return the favour. Now for the speed introduction.

A quick run down of myself....

  • Gender - At last check, male

  • Marital status - Firmly secured to the chain around my ankles...

  • Children - Can put forward my own basketball team provided they don't want a break or get injured.

  • Hobbies and interests - Music, reading, computers, photoshop, spirituality, golf and fishing. The last two I consider more of an attempt to bolster my list because in my eyes swinging a club at a ball does not constitute playing golf, and fishing implies the involvement of fish and the ability to catch them.

  • Useful tools - Windows 7 PC armed with yWriter 5 and Freemind. I use the term "useful" lightly as I have mentioned Microsoft in the same sentence.
Well thats me in a nutshell, the perfect place for me I might add lol. I hope to meet you all here in these cyberpages. I'm sure you wont be able to miss me, I'll be the one curled up in the corner of the pub asleep after partaking in one too many cyberbaileys.....:)


Cheers
Jason

Dark side of my mind.
Hi and welcome to the asylum! I shall pray to the spirit of Steve Jobs that you are delivered from the curse that is Microsoft.

Welcome from another fantasy writer. I like your descriptions of golfing and fishing.

Welcome, Jason! I tried golf / fishing once. Scared off too many of the fish and couldn't get my deposit back on my water logged golfer pants. : )

Ha Ha, maybe if I combine the two hobbies I'll have more success. I shall call it GoFish, no wait isn't that a card game? Oh well when all else fails in life, resort to nine inch nails, a hammer, super glue and if one must, dynamite. Now there's a thought I'll blow them out of the water with the dynamite and swing a golf club at them. :D

Cheers to everyone and their comments

Hello, and this is not my first reply, but my second. Also new to the neighborhood and wanting to get to know the crowd. The writer board is new to me; there are literate people here! I'll have to get used to that. Enjoy and good luck.

Yes, like Roddy said, literate people everywhere! Encouraging, if not rather mind-boggling. Cheers Jason.

Hi Jason - welcome. Some advice - stick with Windows 7. I made the move and what a mission of an OS. Anyway, hope you have a good time on the forums.
