hello, all! 21 year-old aspiring writer here, just looking to get back to what I love to do. I've spent much of my time writing fantasy, sci-fi, and poetry, but my writing in essence dabbles on into any genre I put my mind to. I have written two books, one self published and well...one not so self published. unfortunately, the latter of the two (for multiple reasons), nearly killed my lust to write, and kept me from doing anything significant for nearly a year now. in essence, it made me give up for a bit. but...I've been feeling like getting back into it recently. so, here I am, back up and ready to try again. :D

Welcome to the cooler, blacknexus. Congrats on getting your first book self-published. That is a tough feet to accomplish and I wish you all the best in selling your book. Sometimes even good writers write stuff that is not so good. It just happens. You just have to take what you learned from that experience and improve on your weaknesses or where you failed. Best wishes.

thanks proach. yeah, self publishing is tough...especially the promotional aspect. and your right: not everything written is good or orginal. I think one of the reasons I stopped in the first place was becouse I just hadn't come to grips with that. I've learned my lesson, of course. better to write what I feel then to not write at all. lol

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, which is in a sticky thread at the top of the Newbie Forum. Also check out Cathy_C's thread, which is also stickied at the top of the Newbie forum, Next on our tour, if you'll look to the left, you'll notice... to find out about the various buttons and icons, and also about rep points, how to PM (private message) members, custom avatars and a whole host of other useful stuff,

If you have any problems you can PM (private message) me and I'll see if I can help, or you can post in the Super-Dooper Newbie 'Ask the Mod' thread at the top of the newbie forum.

For some fun, we have the terrific Newbie Question of the Day thread. Pop in and have a go at answering a few of the really easy questions (the link is in the sig line below). They are easy. Yep, they are. And so much fun.

Oh, and do you like double choc-chip cookies? :D
