I signed up bout a week ago and have been browsing around a few threads.

I've been writing on and off for years now and therefore, don't really have much to show for it, though my biggest achievement was when I was working for an online gaming company as a game administrator. My role there was to write its story which I had done for over 2 years. (Loved it btw)

Sadly, the company went under and that was that for me. These days, I write for the fun of it.

I have tried writing many genres, fantasy, sci-fi, western, steampunk, cyberpunk, post-apocalypes (which is my personal favourite), and some erotica as well.

I love to imagine and to put it down on paper, but truthfully speaking, I'm hoping to make a little income through writing as well. Hopefully something of mine gets published one day. XD

Thanks for reading.

Ballistic Dragon. I am writing a pre-apocalypes story right at the point where the rich have had enough and want out before things happen.

BD, I think if anyone can get you to the point of catching an agent's or a publisher's eye, these guys can. It's like a master class in writing, including "how not to reinvent the wheel" and "how to reinvent the wheel, but make it cooler". I haven't been here long myself, but my brain is spinning with the information I have pulled out of threads here.

Nice to meet someone else who likes to play in different genres!

Wow... thats a lot of greeting. Thanks all for making me feel welcome.

Calvin M - Cool, although I would like to ask. Are you telling me this, or are you asking for ideas/suggestions? Coz I don't mind if you don't. :)

Oldbrasscat - Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. But for now, it seems like I have a lot of reading to do. Thanks again.

rwm4768 - Thanks. What kinda of Genres do you like?
