Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome! What genre?

Realism, I guess? I've spent some time in the Middle East, and I want to write novels and stories inspired by my experiences.

Welcome to AW, arabajyo! :welcome:

You've come to the right writing place. AW is, imo, the best online writing community and resource around, bar none. There's more info regarding writing and publishing here than you can shake a stick at, and an awesome community of writers at all stages of their writing journeys (from aspiring to award-winning).

See you around the boards! :)
