Hi everyone!

Something strange happened to me last December. I started to write and I couldn't stop! Roughly one month later I found myself with a complete novel, wondering what the heck I was going to do with it.
I guess you can figure out the rest of that story ;) !

I found this place through my publishing searches and here I am, hoping to learn and get some feedback on what I've written.

A little background: I'm Sara, work-at-home-mom to two girls and one husband, mid-thirties, living in the tiny speck in Europe that is Portugal.

Hope to get to know this place well enough to actually start making good use of it. I've read the newbie guide, so now I'm off to explore the rest of the forum. Thanks for being here!

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.

Hi Sara. You're a prolific writer to have finished a novel that fast. Congratulations!

Yes, you will find much great advice. I'd suggest starting with "Uncle Jim's" thread in the novels section. He has much brilliant advice, and you will also learn the names of some of the heavy hitters here.

Nate

Welcome to the Cooler.

I've got friends in that part of the world. Nice weather, 'cept in the summer it got too hot for me.

Does that mean you're not a polygamist? :)

Sometimes wish I had more than one husband to go around

Welcome, welcome, SaraP. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too (such as the Traditional Irish Pub at the top of the Newbie forum)

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.
