Hey everyone,

My username is Lilacstarflower - I'm a 25 year old female from Scotland. I've always wanted to write a novel and about two years ago I had a life changing experience that made me think about seriously attempting to get published.

I'm working on two main projects at the moment; one is a Georgian-based novel and the other is a YA horror/mystery. I have a few ideas for other novels but I think the two I'm working on at the moment are my strongest ideas.

As for reading - it's my favorite pastime. I mainly read historical fiction and sci-fi. Sense and Sensibility is my absolute favorite book. Others I enjoy include The Count of Monte Cristo, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Northanger Abbey and Les Misreables to name a few.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Sounds like you're off to a great start and you've found the right place to keep you on track when you need it, or just hang out.

Good luck with your writing!

A pleasure to have you join us. Be very careful about saying the word 'haggis,' okay? You'll see why soon enough.

Pfft, haggis is best served with neeps and tatties ( my choice) or whiskey sauce ( Old Man)

Not that there's much meat on him.

*sigh* welcome smilies still not working.

Welcome to AW. I like my haggis on crisp-cooked slices of black pudding.

Yay, another Scottish gal! I lived in Edinburgh for years, Aberdeenshire before that. Fit like?

Haggis = good; black pudding = evil. Fact!

Welcome

Hello to you, Lilacstarflower, and welcome to AW. You seem to like just the type of novel I prefer too - I've grown up reading those books and still love them.

Welcome! I've been intrigued with Scotland ever since reading Diana Gabaldan's Outlander series.

Thanks for the welcomes!

Plockton I have heard of, but never been too. I live near the home town of Robert Burns so I have lots of nice places to inspire the historical writing I do : )

Not a fan of haggis, or black pudding - yuk!
