Hi everybody,

I'm excited to be joining AW! I've been lurking on the site for a while and have really liked the look of the community. I don't have any friends or family that are writers so I'm looking forward to interacting with some like minded folks.

A little about me: I live Colorado and work full time while taking online classes. I write speculative fiction (when I can) and have had two short stories published in the past.

Look forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome to AW, Hoplite! :welcome:

Yay for de-lurking! You'll be glad you did, i'm sure. AW's a great place, a real writing community as well as a great resource. Here's a link to the Short Fiction section, and you might be interested in the Write1/Sub1 room, too. Dive right in; you won't regret it!

See you around the boards :)

Welcome Hoplite! Glad to have you here! :) This is a great place for writers.

Colorado is beautiful. One of my favorite places to visit. My dad lived in Estes Park back in the 70's and I think he still misses it sometimes.
