Hey there,

I would like to say at first glances at this forum, it seems to be a busy one and very active. I've also found it seems so supportive and friendly. My name is Cameron, well thats the name I go by. I'm 40 yrs old and have been writing for about six years. I love nothing better than sitting at my computer and writing away poems and short stories. Right now I'm working on my first attempt at writing my first novel.

My partner and best friend is my muse. He inspires me to write. Sometimes when I get stuck on my story I'm writing, he comes and reads it and gives me advice on how to continue from that sport. I feel he is my muse as he is always inspiring me to great heights. I feel so alive when I'm writing. I feel I only want to be a writer and nothing else.

By the way, I'm disabled and can't work, so my contributions to my family I write short stories for my neice and nephews. They seem to love my short stories. I mainly write christian stories for children and young adults genre. I have never gotten anything published, but I'm hoping in time and getting better at writing for children for a living and get my short stories and my first attempt at writing a christian novel.

Cameron

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:

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

Also try this thread:
http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6710
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 are also social groups for writers. Here are some good links:
