Hey there! My totally-not-my-real name is Thea! My first novella was published in January, and, like nearly everyone else, I figured I should always keep trying to get better and learn new things by talking to new people. The niche in which I seem to have found myself is sci-fi/fantasy/erotica. Why not?

I'm merrily plugging away at my second book, but since the economy took a nosedive and I got laid off from my job 18 months ago, I'm back to being a full-time student, so my writing time took a little bit of a hit. Neither my past career or future career has anything to do with writing fiction whatsoever.

As my biography on my publisher's site indicates, I suck at writing about myself. Maybe I'll just rely on the adorable qualities of my avatar to make you forget that.

A pleasure to meet you, Thea. I don't use my real name here, either. Sometimes I start to sign email to my family with my user name here. I'm sure that says something bad about me, but hey, that's pretty easy.

Maryn, glad you're here

Congrats on publishing your novella! I lurked for a long time before joining, and still tend to lurk, but I've learned so much. I think you'll definitely achieve your goal of getting better and learning by talking to people here.

Oh, and welcome!

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. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, 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.
