Hello!

My name is Emily and I have been writing for many years. My main interest for a long time was Fanfiction, as is the way that a lot of people gain an affinity for writing. When I was thirteen I got an idea, however, for a completely original story, no, saga. I scribbled for days on end, laying the groundwork for this universe I wanted to create. Eventually, though, I not so much lost interest as got overwhelmed by all the work I had put into it and set it to the side. Over the years I've added to the scribbles, but nothing more has come from it.

I happened onto these forums once, YEARS ago. I recall bookmarking Uncle Jim's forum and reading through it when I had the time. Today, I am back, through a Google search for the top 101 best writing dedicated sites. I took time to read over a lot of this amazing community and develop a game plan for getting my BIC and working on what I had set out on.

I plan on picking up those pages of notes I've taken and try to formulate my first chapter, if not completely hammer down the plot. During this, I will consider visiting the Sandbox section to get some feedback. Once I get my fifty posts in and have my first chapter, it's off to SYW to see how my work has paid off.

I hope I can experience everyones support and help and wisdom as I start my path down the road to publication.

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.

Welcome, Emily! Sounds like you were bitten by a tenacious bug at the age of thirteen. That's great! Best of luck.
