Mandatory noob post-- I've lurked here for a couple of years and thought it was time to take the plunge.

I'm in my 50's a business executive by day a writer of noir-ish mainstream fiction by night. I tend to focus on the New York neighborhood that I grew up in.

I'm 40K words into my first novel and look forward to getting to know you all

Hiya, fellow noob. My day job is the risk communicator/public information officer for a 14-county public health district in Georgia. At night and on weekends, I have been working on a paranormal thriller. At the moment, I'm slightly ahead of you in my WC - 57,000+.

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.

You've already written twice as many words as I've ever managed. Welcome aboard.

Hi, and welcome.

It seems we have lots in common. I'm also in my 50's and just joined. Best of luck with your book!

Hello to you, and welcome to the Cooler. I'm also in my fifties and a teacher by profession. Try to do some writing during my holidays and weekends and manage to get one novel ready per year.

Hey, Biscuit. Welcome from a fellow 50 somethingish newbie. Started a project 1.5 years ago and it turned into a 2 book rock session. My 14 year old read them and is begging for a third. When do we sleep?
