Well ladies and gentleman, it's my esteemed pleasure to join this place among so many fine writers and creative minds. I've been lurking here for the past week or so and certainly hope to find a home among all of you.

What I enjoy is music and writing. I write a lot and fill the paper with words and tears and passion that would make any man or woman blush. The issue I face, that some of us face, is that I don't know how to make that next step. I could blog but I wouldn't even know where to begin and I feel that could prove to be a lot of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

So that is where I stand. The crossroads are before me and the scarecrow is pointing in every direction. I now know how Dorothy must have felt. Sadly my road isn't paved yellow. It's littered with broken bottles and tattered newspapers which tell a boring story of another wasted celebrity.

That being said, I look forward to having intimate and interesting conversations with some of you.

Welcome to AW, dissolute! :welcome:

You'll find all the help and encouragement you need here. AW is, imo, the best online writing community and resource around. It can be a little intimidating at first--there's just so much info and so many nooks and crannies--but it's well worth the effort to acclimate. Dive right in; you won't regret it!

See you around the boards :)

Welcome. Music and writing are a great combination. I'll often try to pick certain music based on what I'm writing.
