New Guy Here.

Forge · Apr 10, 2015

I have spent way too much time deciding what to say here.

I have spent the last couple days lurking around the board and it looks active and friendly. I am glad to be here.

I enjoy writing and am nearing retirement and have some time to do that now. I'm not sure what I write, but I write. I guess I would classify it as 'stuff.'

Thank you for having me.

Forge.

I know exactly what you mean. I see these people with clever or charming introductory posts, and I'm so glad that my first post is lost in the Sands of Time, because it was ungainly and plain.

So you're in good company here, with plenty of other writers. Nice to meet you!

Maryn, vacuuming the welcome mat yet again

Welcome! Hope you have fun here.

Welcome. It's great that you already have your retirement activities picked out. I really enjoyed a book called Lies You Wanted to Hear, and it was the debut novel from the 68 year old.

Hello and welcome! I did that too, spent forever deciding what to say. Your post turned out well -- mine went a bit overboard. Ah well. See you around the boards! AW is a fantastic resource and a great community.
