I've been lurking on this site forever... so I feel like I already know everyone. Anyway, hi! I can't believe I finally got the nerve to join :hi:

Thanks, Recklezz and PorterStarrByrd! Ok... maybe using the word *everyone* was a bit extreme ;)

w00t! Another lurker appears from the mist that is non-AW-internet-land!

Welcome, Lindy :welcome:

As you'd already know from your lurking, AW is a great place. Premier writing community and resource on the nets, imo. Dive right in; you won't regret it!

See you around the boards :)

smoking . . . lurker

According to the news, Colorado smokers need no longer lurk, but I love how high your legless animals get :D

Oh, yeah . . . :welcome:, Lindy.

Tell us about your fondest writing.

Hmm, finally got the nerve. Maybe something in the air in Colorado?

You know I'm JK. Welcome.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome :)

I've been working on my first novel now for a couple of years. I'm hoping that 2014 is the year I finally finish it! This current WIP is a Western, but I'm also interested in writing historical and middle grade fiction.


I have a feeling that this forum is going to be a source of both wonderful inspiration and terrible procrastination.... but I'm excited to be a part of it.

Welcome to the Water Cooler!

:welcome:

AW is a huge place, and there's a lot of information to be found here. Take your time and browse around to get a feel of the various forums.

Here's a link to some of the most commonly asked questions in the FAQs, and another for the Absolute Write Dictionary. Also, a little reminder that if you're interested in receiving a critique of your work, there is a 50-post rule (and please don't rush towards that 50).

One last thing--don't forget to check out the Newbie Guide.

Enjoy your stay. :)
