Hi! My name is Andrea and I am new to all of this. I was recommended to this site when I submitted a few chapters of my first book to loose Id. They were very helpful and gave me good ideas. I have always had the desire to write, starting at a very young age. I have started many books and have finally finished my first book. I didn't expect it to be published (which is wasn't) and now I am taking the suggestions given and changing it to focus on what others are looking for in a book right now.

I hope to gain some advice and insight into the world of writing and hopefully, someday, I will publish something. :)

I am open to any and all help and will appreciate it all! I understand that I need to build more into my characters depth, and really get into the minds of the readers and that is something I am attempting to do now.

Thanks for allowing me to be part of this community!
~Andrea

Take some time and read the Newbie Guide and the Stickies found
at the top of Forum pages. They are your best guide to learning about
Absolute Write.

Don’t forget to read the FAQ regarding posting pictures at AW.


Members who want to start a thread in Share Your Work to have work critiqued need
50 posts. Don’t make a mad dash to reach your 50 posts. Take some time to greet fellow newbies,
critique other members’ works, or join a discussion.

Welcome to AW!

Please do what Reg suggests!

-and read about AW basics here in the Newbie Guide! Many questions about using this software can be found in the FAQ's menu in the handy blue bar at the 'top' of this page. Also handy for first-time users is the common acronym list. This helps you identify those mystifying abbreviations.

*Critiques* So many new members ask about having work critiqued! They should first read the 50 Post rule. But when it comes to actually posting writing in the Share Your Work (SYW) area, this thread addresses many first time questions, while this one covers
most common problems. found in SYW posts. *Worth reading no matter how long you have been here!*

AW is a community built on the foundations of respecting your fellow writer and helping each other, it's the basic building blocks of how AW works.

Welcome to our community!

A lot of writers don't end up publishing their very first novel, so I hope you don't feel discouraged. Good luck and welcome to AW.
