Been skulking, now a member

Hello!

I've been reading forum posts for a while now, and they've helped so much during my search for an agent! Thanks everyone.

I've just received my 15th rejection on full ms, and I'm feeling the need for support.

This is my first novel. I guess I'd call it literary fiction or a literary thriller.

Nice to meet you all!

Hello and welcome, Grover. I'm very new around here, but from what I've seen so far this is a great place to come for support.

Hey Grover, you're the first Skulker I think I've heard of since I've been here. Darn it now we have to change the sign again.

We have a sign up right next to the cooler that says: "No Loitering or Lurking" Now we're going to have to add Skulking to the list.

Marty's gonna be peeved now. He just put that new sign up yesterday.

Well now that you are no longer doing that, you might as well go critiquing until you reach 50 posts.

Then i guess if you have something to share with us, then you might as well post it in the SYW forum.

Haha Calvin M

We skulkers are a bit more crafty than loiterers or lurkers. You've got to keep an eye out for us. But, we do respect all signs.
