Hi all,

I have always wanted to be an author. This year I decided to follow this dream in earnest.
I look forward to getting to know more writers and what they struggle with.

Hi there!

I'm also new to the forums, it's nice to know i'm not the only one! What genre do you write in? And what's your current work in progress? ^_^

Hi, my current WIP is an urban fantasy. I tried my hand at a mystery first, but my hat's off to those guys that make it work. It's nice to know that i'm not alone.

Thank you all for the great welcome!

I understand that fully. I find that my largest issue at the moment is having tons of little papers lying around and no idea what to do with them.

Welcome Thirsty!

Welcome. We were all new writers at some point...

Welcome, Thirsty :banana:

I hope you find AW helpful. I spent some time in JoBerg years ago as part of a six-country tour. What an amazing continent!
