Hey everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member. Name Mike, people call me PsyberMind ( don't know WHERE that came from, but I like it )

I'm not a published author, or even a novel-writing author. (See my PA thread in the NEPAT... is that what it's called?)

I do write short articles, 1k words or so for magazines. Well, I AM writing. I haven't had anything published yet, but after a 1 year Hiatus from writing I decided to get back into the game.

I do wonder if this is the forum for me, since I'm not about Books, but Mag articles, but eventually I WOULD like to write a book, so I thought I'd jump in here.

Anyway, thats me

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. Good luck.

Hi and Welcome!! :welcome:

First, you do have a place here in AW. I posted a link to a forum near the bottom of this post that should be just what you are looking for. Here is my newbie welcome post:

You should take some time to read through the Newbie Forum stickies.

Also try this thread:

Uncle Jim talks about being disciplined about writing; setting aside time whether you feel like it or not. I am struggling with that myself, but working on making it a part of my routine.

After awhile you will find all the helpful threads if you just click around. There's info on format, genres, queries, and there is also a social group for fantasy writers. Here are some good links:
