Hello everyone. Thought I'd drop by here after spending some time reading the newbie guides and FAQ threads. It's a lot to remember, but I'll get the hang of it. I've been visiting this site off and on for awhile for all the great info, but thought it would be a good idea to finally join. It will be nice to actually interact with people now instead of just lurking.
As for my writing, I've got a 91k manuscript that is on what must be its dozenth revision by now. The first draft was actually 79k, but grew from there despite some scene deletions. A couple of great beta partners have helped me improve it a lot. There is still some tweaking to do, but I have high (though realistic) hopes.
Mostly I'm here to interact with other writers. I've found you can learn a lot by what others do wrong, as well as right. Not to mention all the topics around here I've never even considered that can be beneficial to anyone trying to improve their craft. I'll look forward to chatting with you all!
