Howdy gang,
I'm Jeff, nice to meetcha. I'm aspiring, as many people here I am sure, to be a writer. I've got two novels under my belt, one of which is self-published, the other of which is undergoing further editing now that I've gotten it back from my chosen editor. I've also written around a dozen short stories or so, only one of which is ready for submission and was just this morning rejected (in very positive terms) by Pseudopod.
As such, I decided that I've been living in isolation from other writers for too long, and to get over my reluctance to join the community. I've heard absolute write is a great place to get feedback, learn about the industry, and to improve oneself. (As a matter of fact, I didn't know about filtering and why its bad until I started poking around.)
So, here I am! I'm looking forward to learning more, trying to network, and most of all, reading and sharing fiction to get it ready for the brutal light of the editor's screen.
