Howdy,

I'm TNC, obviously. :D But I've been writing sense I was about 12, so jestly for 6 years. I'm working on a novella at the moment and am hoping to get it published. I near sent part of my book to a site that I found out was a scam through a writer friend of mine so I'm hoping I can avoid that by furthering my knowledge of everything. So we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and I hope this is what I'm supposed to write here.


TNC

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. Good luck.

Hi and Welcome!! :welcome:

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation. :(

You should take some time to read through the Newbie Forum stickies.

Also try this thread:

Uncle Jim talks about being disciplined about writing; setting aside time whether you feel like it or not. I am struggling with that myself, but working on making it a part of my routine.

After awhile you will find all the helpful threads if you just click around. There's info on format, genres, queries, and there are also social groups for all kinds of ages and lifestyles. Here are some good links:


AW Dictionary (helps you with acronyms and stuff):

There's a forum about taking caution:

Here is where you can post PART of your work and receive crits (critiques):

IMO - It’s probably best to read other posts first, see how people interact and maybe even offer some advice before asking for feedback.


We are glad you chose to spend some of your time here with us!
