Hey Everybody!

I'm a writer and starving for some like-minded people. My husband and I moved from Prescott, AZ. to rural North Dakota almost five years ago, and there's nobody here I can communicate with regarding my novel. Seriously. This town has less then 2,000 people, and the nearest bookstore is two hours away. Thank God for Amazon :). Now, don't get me wrong, this is a nice farming community with a Mayberry feel to it, and very safe. However, there's no literary stimulation here, or anybody that can give me their opinion on my craft. Therefore, I decided to join Absolute Write because I've heard great things about this forum, and I'd love to help out other writers too.
Anyway, nice to be here, and anybody who is reading this. . . Have a good one.
Rebekkah

Hi Everyone, I'm new here and sort of new to forums overall. I'm a writer who lives in a busy area, but don't have a lot of like minded people to talk to about writing so I am elated to have found this site. I work in the corporate world and dream of someday being able to share my work, as writing is my passion.

Probably the library.
Welcome Erica :)
More people will know that you're here if you start your own thread. It's at the top of the forum page and it's just a button that says "New Thread." Not that it's required to do that, of course. :)

Welcome! I am sure you will find plenty of like-minded folks here :p Rural communities aren't that bad... you can always go cow-tipping!

Lucky you you're close to the Badlands, I've made a point of finding excuses to have my characters live near the Black Hills. Welcome on board.

Hi, Rebekkah! Welcome. Your move from AZ to ND sounds interesting. I moved from the hustle and bustle of a major Chicago suburb three years ago to a very small town here in rural northern Illinois. Stay in touch and we can "compare" notes on making the transition, etc.

Thank you for the welcoming me.

Thanks everybody for being so nice and welcoming me. Hey, Kohah, rural communities are nice and does have its advantages: one traffic light, slower pace, I don't have to lock my doors, and so on. . . .Cow-tipping? You're funny. . . .:D
Hey, MarkA9, that would be cool to compare notes with you about making the moving transition. :)
Anyway, I hope everybody has a g'nite. May your dreams be happy ones.

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. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

I know how you feel Rebekkah. Not a lot of writing groups close to me either. And non-writing friends and family just don't seem to get my passion for this. I'm looking forward to meeting others who can share the writing experience with me.
