Hi, I'm new. I've wanted to be a writer pretty much my entire life, and I am just now trying to get published. I'm here for any advice I can get.

Thanks, it's nice to meet all of you. I already expect to get a lot of rejections, all authors do.

Hi and welcome!

Thick skin advice is a good one. I take rejection personally for about 2 minutes, then I tell myself that that was their loss, not mine, and move forward!

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. Good luck.
