Hi,

I'm from Singapore and I'm trying my hand at writing a fantasy novel.
I stumbled upon this forum by accident and I'm glad I did. I'm so excited and amazed by the wealth of information and the number of people willing to spend time to go through material from newbies.

My first draft of my baby is at 20K out of a possible 60K words and I've got loads more to learn of this craft and what better way to do it then through AW.

Be gentle with this newbie.

Thanks!

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. Good luck.

Hi and Welcome!!

Wayne provided a great link. Uncle Jim talks about being disciplined about writing; setting aside time whether you feel like it or not. I am struggling with that myself, but working on making it a part of my routine.

After awhile you will find all the hepful threads if you just click around. There's info on format, genres, queries, and there is also a social group for fantasy writers. I am not good about adding links but I will try:

AW Dictionary (helps you with acronums and stuff):
