Oh man, so many forums. I'm not sure how I got here, I swear I was just reading about pirates... ;)

Anyway, hello. I'm Lauren, and I hate introductions or describing myself in general. Hmm, that's not very promising. I do love writing (I bet you could not see that coming). I'm 22, and am totally blind. I use a screenreader to navigate the internet (everyone always likes to know how I type, so though that may seem obvious, I just say it preemptively on forums).

I'm pretty sure I unknowingly started writing fan fiction in the second grade, when I wrote a sequel to some bizarre book about aliens and breakfast serial. I don't think I've written science fiction since. Actually, I don't think that alien could really be classified as sci-fi to begin with.

I second guess myself a lot when it comes to original work, so I fall back into the habit of playing with other people's characters. That's half the reason I joined this forum. I don't have many friends who also write, so I'm anxious to get to know fellow people to encourage/critique/send random youtube videos.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Between poking around this forum and being distracted by my kitten, tonight was really unproductive. ::

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. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hello, Welcome aboard (I have to say that, I'm naughtical)

I'm asking this of every newby I respond to :

How about a few paragraphs of your writing that you are proud of. It'll really help us know you and at least one of your styles a bit better.

Not trying to scare you away but it's never too early to stop being bashful. I promise that I won't critque it on the forum and doubt that anyone else will.
