I found AW a couple of years ago, when I was half-heartedly thinking about taking a stab at writing fiction, and *gasp* submitting it.
I was working as a copy-writer and style editor, and was badly burned out about it. However, even though I had a salaried writer job, I didn't really think of myself as a "writer" and had no clue about anything having to do with publishing.
I was sitting in that common writer vacuum of my head space, and I was completely clueless.
I'm still arguably clueless. But I found AW, and can't even begin to explain how much I treasure the education, support, and companionship I've enjoyed, as a member of this community. I'm just about to end the first draft of a first novel, and I feel absolutely certain I'd have never gotten that far without this community.
So thank you, to both Jenna, and to the other members who participate and spend so much time providing valuable information and advice to beginners.
Even if it never sees print, I've found writing amazingly fulfilling and restoring--even when it's difficult. I've learned so very much, in the process.
I thought I'd open this up--and if some of ya'll want to share, please do!
