Hi,

My name is Lam. I am new to writing. So glad to find this forum. I am currently working on a YA fantasy and a paranormal romance. If my English sounds a little weird it's because I am Chinese. English is my second language and it is quite daunting for me to write in it. (Actually it is daunting for me to writing anything at all.) Oh, well, if it's not a challenge, where is the fun?

Very nice to meet y'all. I am so excited to meet other writers. ^O^

-Lam

Take some time and read the Newbie Guide and the Stickies found
at the top of Forum pages. They are your best guide to learning about
Absolute Write.

Don’t forget to read the FAQ regarding posting pictures at AW.


Members who want to start a thread in Share Your Work to have work critiqued need
50 posts. Don’t make a mad dash to reach your 50 posts. Take some time to greet fellow newbies,
critique other members’ works, or join a discussion.

Hi Lambauman!

Welcome to AW!

Please read about AW basics in the Newbie Guide!

Many questions about using this software can be found in the FAQ's menu in the handy blue bar at the 'top' of this page. Also handy for first-time users is the common acronym list. This helps you identify those mystifying abbreviations.

The most helpful Novel thread in all of AW
: here.

*Critiques* New members often ask about having work critiqued! They should first read the 50 Post rule. But when it comes to actually posting writing in the Share Your Work (SYW) area, this thread addresses many first time questions, while this one covers most common problems. found in SYW posts. *Worth reading no matter how long you have been here!*

AW is a community built on the foundations of respecting your fellow writer and helping each other, it's the basic building blocks of how and why AW works.

Hi Lam, welcome, welcome to the Water Cooler. I lived in China for fours from 2007-2011. I think it's wonderful that you're writing in English. Some day I hope to write in Chinese. I lived in Qingdao and Jinan in Shandong Province. Where do you live?
