...as a recently serious writer. May have graduated from fooling around a few months back. Interested in learning - will be interested in sharing.

Hiya ... I'm a newbie on the site myself. Also here to learn and to share. Working on a paranormal novel ... 57,561 words and counting. What are you up to?

Recently completed a novel set in the 4th Century of the Common Era. Started at the beginning of the decade. Found that economics intervened for most of the time - so there was a small advantage to the financial meltdown; it gave me some serious time to put my butt on a chair.

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.

Proverbial blessing in disguise, eh? Have you started submitting to agents? Or are you still in the beta-reading/polishing phase? Regardless, I salute your accomplishment and wish you the best!

I certainly think this is good advice - and thoughtful about writing as well. At the end of the day, it's very much a matter of keeping at keeping at it!

Thanks!
