Hi all

I've been thinking about writing for the last few years but haven't really done much with it, so I've joined this forum hoping for inspiration and motivation.

I've tried writing mainstream fiction and other genres but it all seems to turn into sci fi or fantasy. I have a couple of failed novels from previous nanowrimos and would love to actually finish one! Procrastination/laziness is my biggest problem so far.

I also have a husband, one cat and two dogs, all of whom are very supportive. Except the cat, who sits on the keyboard when I'm trying to write. :)

Welcome to AW! I have found this site to be full
of inspiration. I just limit my time here, or else I
don't get enough writing done.

Have fun!

Think of them as novels-in-waiting! Most of us have a few of those around.

If you procrastinate - run! For this will add to things you use to avoid the finishing. Just kidding.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Why not teach the CAT to type? He can be your voice-recognition program.

Teaching the cat to type would be an awe inspiring feat. Unfortunately I don't think we have the same taste in literature and I don't want her 'editing' my content.

And I prefer my popcorn however someone else would like to make it for me. ;)

I can't help with the procrastination or teaching the cat to type, but I can welcome you to AW.

Welcome, Elsa. You're lucky with your cat. One of mine sends MSN messages! So far, she can only manage 'shift' and 'enter' with the odd 'sssssssssssssssssss' - but she's getting there...

Hope you have fun here. :Sun:
