I remember stumbling upon this site maybe six or more years ago? I really enjoyed how the members were very active and there was a lot of diversity. I mostly lurked. I'm looking forward to getting a bit more involved this time around!

Janet Reid, a literary agent, recommends this site often and I follow her blog(s, if you count Query Shark)!

This is my first post since the forum change over, or upgrade. I am just trying to break my "I hate change" attitude with a post.Attended Viable Paradise in 2012 and joined right after that. I think this is my first public post.
It's a kind of how'do I find this site - which is better and better with use.
Yes, off-topic. Carry on.
Welcome KaaSerpent!
I'm cursed with the same attitude. I'm trying one or two posts a day trying to discover something I don't know (which is a lot).
Yesterday, I learned colon + greenie will get instead of .Glad you found us, too, Kimberly.
As a newbie to a new format, you're ahead of some of us old timers having to re-learn the ropes.

See, now, a colon and a greenie present a very different picture from both ends to me.

Say, what is the backstory of your current ASL avatar?
Suffice it to say,
And I thought your avatar was signing your nickname.

AW popped up as a search result for almost every writing-related question/topic I typed into Google.
Oh, the finger-spelling. I thought you were referring to something else, as American Sign Language (ASL) and finger-spelling, though connected, are different methods of silent speech.
"Chase" is a good example. The avatar shows how to spell it, but the word is expressed by one thumb up pursuing another thumb up, sort of like this:
The answer is I'm
(deaf), and most of my avatars have something to do with deafness.I'm sorry I misunderstood
and took so long to give a straight answer.
Hi Chase! No worries about the length of time. The Internet is forever. Thanks for adding reputation points to me. I was wondering how that would work, and it seems slightly changed in its calculation.
I am down with the grip and a screaming 1.5-yr-old daughter at the moment, all working to lock away comprehension of thought inside a Chinese puzzle box and keep my written contribution down to comprehensive words per hour; that period of time just before foot inserts to mouth, which is observable in slow motion by the eater but actually a slow-jam 45 played at 78 rpm to everyone else in the room. My Chipmunk masters beat my head for a walnut and are very unwelcome.
I haven't tried the private message function yet, so I shall; once nature returns Chip and Dale to the Disney Studios from which they came. ... and now that I have fallen asleep at the keyboard and awoken (no lie) I shall hit send.

As for how I found the site, I've known of it for years, just never took the time to come check it out.
, Laura on the other coast. I think my amateur sleuth mystery is part cozy. Nice to meet you.Be sure to introduce yourself again by starting a new thread in this section.

Thanks, Chase. I'd already figured that out and edited my post here appropriately. Leave it to me to miss the point of this thread by not paying close enough attention. Oops! Sigh.

I was actually asking uncle Google about acting agents (I didn't use the word acting, probably), since I am also interested in that. The first result was a thread on these forums about literary agents ... I guess the universe is trying to tell me something ...

Sounds like it! So make something happen.
