Hi there. I'm new here obviously heh and I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.

The name's Tate. I'm a 21 year old college senior majoring in English Ed with a minor in writing. Short story for ya, I actually wanted to major in creative writing because I absolutely love to write but I had to take a look at the logistics of it all and figured it might not be the smartest path to take trying to find a job once I'm done with school. So instead went ahead and minored in creative writing. Still get the full effect of the major but anyways!

I've loved to write ever since I was in elementary school. I'm mostly a sci-fi/fantasy YA genre writer mostly because I'm a "young adult" at heart. I've started a lot of stories but the majority of them have fizzled off and died but now I'm starting one that I'm hoping makes it to completion and possibly publication and to help me out some people pointed me towards this site. After a tid bit of lurking I decided to join.

So there's my big intro, I'm happy to be here with other current and aspiring authors!

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. Good luck.

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

A must read thread is the newbie guide, which is in a sticky thread at the top of the Newbie Forum. Also check out Cathy_C's thread, which is also stickied at the top of the Newbie forum, Next on our tour, if you'll look to the left, you'll notice... to find out about the various buttons and icons, and also about rep points, how to PM (private message) members, custom avatars and a whole host of other useful stuff,

If you have any problems you can PM (private message) me and I'll see if I can help, or you can post in the Super-Dooper Newbie 'Ask the Mod' thread at the top of the newbie forum.

And for fun, we have the terrific Newbie Question of the Day thread. Pop in and have a go at answering a few of the really easy questions (the link is in the sig line below). They are easy. Yep, they are. And so much fun.

Oh, and do you like double choc-chip cookies? :D
