Hello my name is Peanutbutter and I came by to say hi. I won't spend a lot of time here right now. I have finished writing a story about a week ago, I wrote it by hand, it allows me to think before I put down the words.
Although the story needs to be revised big time I think I might really have something. I wrote it in my own language and need to think about whether I will have it published in North America or just in the country I'm originally from. The things I published so far were of minor importance and this feels like my baby and I'm not ready to open the door yet.

I need to learn a lot about how to get a manuscript send to an agent or when a story/manuscript is good enough (i.e. when you as a writer feel you can have someone critique your writing). I don't want to focus on that now, the story is fresh and I want to have a first draft finished on Jan 1, 2014. Which is going to be a challenge because I broke a finger and my left hand is in a stint haha.

So yes, we will talk again, just not in the near future... :hi:

Welcome Peanut! Love your dedication to the written word. That helps me too, from time to time! Which country are you originally from?

Nice to meet you!

Welcome. I'm amazed that you could write out a whole story by hand. I don't care for writing by hand myself.
