Hello All,

Long time lurker here. I finally decided to register because I'm wanting to become a bit more serious about my writing.

Well, a little about me.

I'm a NE Florida native who moved to Texas in 2005. I've got a wonderful wife, and the world's greatest little boy. I love to read, write, watch good dramatic TV, play disc golf, and brew beer.

Horror is probably my favorite thing to write, but I'm not published. The only for pay work I've done is several hundred wretched SEO articles for textbroker a few years back.

I'm excited to finally participate in this wonderful community, and hope to get to know a lot of you better over the coming months and years.

Hi guys,

I'm in Austin and been on AW a loooong time. Welcome. :) It's a great place, an incredible resource so pour yourselves a drink, settle in, and poke around the place.

Cheers,
Mark

Welcome to AW!

Hope the weather in Texas is warmer than here in Northern Europe!

ON the edge of the insane feral.
Howdy from another central Texan. Be nice if we could get rid of the 80 degree days wouldn't it?

Welcome, All Newbies!

I'm a relative newcomer myself--three weeks ago--but I've put in a lot of time in these rich resources of AW and have met some fine writers.

So welcome Rabid Capybara, CJ Knightrey, Shorty Dawkins, MSheedy, Saphirablue84, AnneMayfair, and Charliealcock.

May you enjoy the environs and the writerly sense of place!

Thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome folks.

So many fellow Texans, but I suppose that's to be expected with the size of the state and all.

Nice to see a fellow transplanted Floridian. Whereabouts in N. Florida? I lived in Jax for years, but was raised in Green Cove Springs (10pts if you've ever even heard of it).

>> Deizelcore
It's definitely been warm, and a little wet lately. It's 66F at the moment, and it's been in the 80's quite a bit. We'll gladly trade you some warm for a bit of cool.

>> FoamyRules
Thanks! The capybara is probably my favorite critter. I recently found out that it's legal to keep one as a pet, but my wife continues to deny me.

You're telling me. I think winter's cancelled for Central Texas this year.
