Hi guys,

Just registered here a few minutes ago - got the link from the Science Fiction Fantasy (SFF) Chronicles forums. I've been a regular there for several months but only today stumbled on a post mentioning AW and how great it (alledgedly) is ;)

If I recall correctly I wrote almost an entire fantasy novel when I was 15 (it was crap, of course) and have now been trying to re-capture that spirit and enthusiasm for many years (I wouldn't go so far as to say 'decades'). As with SFF Chronicles (and my long since expired subscription to Writer's Digest before that), I'm hoping to make AW another reason to encourage ('whip' would probably be a better word) myself to write, write, write! As to reading, I read everything fantasy from Hobb to Martin to Eddings and Brooks.

Hope to get to know you guys soon. Oh, btw, I currently reside in Malaysia.

Welcome to AW. It is a great place for inspitation, if you can stay away long enough to actually write something. You'll find this place very 'addictive'

Good luck. With recapturing the spirit. I got a small taste for the spirit 2 years ago, it's still blossoming. This past weekend I developed my first FIRST first plot. Yes. Really. I had no idea what a plot felt like until this weekend. Sure I wrote a little, but had no idea what I was writing for.

I hope you find your spirit, and your plot. ;)

Welcome!

Oh, and we are great. There is no alleged greatness. It's fact.

Welcome,

Feel free to post some work on the Share Your Work thread for comments. The "good" will fall away from "good people" quickly, lol. Only kidding, but you will get 'gentle' or 'tear me apart' comments, just tell us what you want us to say when you post for a critic.

Fantasy? Did you say you're into fantasy?

No fantasy nerds around here, no siree...
