Absolute Writer

You need to have 50 posts before you can create a thread in SYW.

It's nothing personal - it's just the rules.

The best way to get to fifty posts is to join in with the community!
- provide critiques for other people in SYW (you can reply to other people's threads even though you can't start your own)
- join conversations on the Basic Writing Questions, Novels, and AW Roundtable boards
- hang out with like-minded people on the genre-specific or interest-based boards (e.g. Science Fiction & Fantasy, or Movies, TV, and Theatre)

There are many wonderful, witty, epic, and heartbreaking FAQs explaining this and other rules of AW, which can be found here: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=35

Lol, it might seem hard at first, but it's actually a great way to build relationships, get acquainted with the site and have fun ! Welcome!!
