Hello, I am new here. I have just finished my first novel that I'll attempt to have published.

I have no idea how, so I'll be sure to check out some topics to try and learn how.

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. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hello, Welcome aboard (I have to say that, I'm naughtical)

I'm asking this of every newby I respond to :

How about a few paragraphs of your writing that you are proud of. It'll really help us know you and at least one of your styles a bit better.

Not trying to scare you away but it's never too early to stop being bashful. I promise that I won't critque it on the forum and doubt that anyone else will.

Interesting. You posted that twice.

It's not that hard to rank up post count copy/pasting the same thing over and over. Ironic that your post mentions the fifty post thing.

Still, very helpful to know. I did not know that before hand.

As for my writing style, it involves constant non stop action and ultimate power from beyond the stars.

In my novel, the most the main character ever stops to rest in a single sitting would perhaps less than a single page.

It's not that hard to follow, either. I made it so that the plot would be super compressed and could be explained by just throwing a sentence here and there.

Motivation of the main character is also simple.

I cut down on the plot to maximize the number of battle scenes. That's just the sort of writing I do.

Hi Y'all

Hi Everyone

This is the first writer's forum I've joined. I thought it was a good idea as I'm doing my first edit to my first novel.

Thanks for having such a site and any help y'all provide and good luck to all of you writers and soon-to-be.

BJB
