Hello Pubbers. :hi:


Greetings everyone. Bartender, one hot cocoa with mashmallows, please

I'm new here, going to read this thread to see what this place is.
Any other fun threads you recommend?
I'm looking forward to reading more stuff here.

Welcome to AW and the Pub, Aeryndale. :welcome:

Fun threads? Office Party might be a good place to start. Or you can always stop by Writing Exercises, Prompts, and Whimsical Pursuits. Lots of writerly games there.

Hi everyone! Just popping in to say hi, and introduce myself. I'm Alison and I write mostly contemporary fiction (YA/NA). So pumped to make some new writing friends and read all of your awesome work :)
Welcome AuthorAlisonH. Glad you found your way to the Pub (and AW). :welcome:

Hi folks.
It's been a while since I've been here. Whether that's a good or bad thing? Not sure. Since last here (circa 2013 I think) I've been trying to figure out genre niche.

Its it awful to say I've bounced around at least 4 times? All fiction, but, the stories needed to come out.
For reference: the sequence was historic fiction fantasy, space action adventure, crime romance, then biker romance thriller (that last category may morph into drama because there may not be HEA for one story coming up).

Do any others have tips on what to do if your worlds don't mesh together?

Hi all, I am Michele. I'm a fan of the short story and have been attempting to craft some, myself. I also write some poetry. I am interested in publishing a compilation, eventually, if I can get it right. I hope to make some wise and trusted friends who can help me with fresh perspectives, and to help craft and fine-tune the stories' of others :Shrug: We'll see how it goes. ;)

Hi there! I'm technically an oldie, but it's been so long since I've been here I figure I'm practically a newbie all over again.

I just finished another novel for National Novel Writing Month, and one of my New Year's resolutions is to start sending out a different novel of mine that I've been working on for years. (Still working up the nerve to start doing that.) I've wanted to be a full-time fiction writer ever since I was seven years old and discovered that people could actually do that. Yes, I've since learned that it's not as easy as that, but I'm still determined. I'm working on becoming a full-time nonfiction writer (freelance copywriter) to sustain me while I work on fiction. Yes, I know that isn't as easy as it looks either, but I'm determined in that as well.

It's so nice to be here again, and I'm looking forward to participating in this community.

Hey y'all! Newbie Amanda here! Thanks for the open arms. I quite like snuggles. :Hug2: I'm currently working on my first novel. I'm about 50,000 words in. It's a romantic suspense with some dark elements thrown in. Looking forward to making some new writing friends!

Now, bartender, since a rebel :e2headban I shall have an orange juice please. :tongue

He leans over and says in a voice as grating as gravel
"That's a mighty purty Avatar you got there, pardner. Mighty purty."

I barely understand what a forum is, let alone what to do inside one. But I am trying. And drinking too!

Thanks for all of the information. Excited to get started! I'm with you on the OJ thing. It's the pulp.

I'm sure we can get you some OJ with no pulp. If you want it, that is. And we'll keep quiet about it so the Dragon doesn't find out. ;)

Somehow I didn't see the pub first time I came through town.

I'll have a mimosa. ;)

Working on draft #13. Smoothing out scene transitions. Every time I think I'm finished, I realize there's another entire category of polish that escaped my attention previously.

Hi everyone!

Ahh, what a bar full! Normally I'm behind the bar, but today I'll do a little drinking myself.

"My good bar-tending Sir, I'll have an OJ neat. With a shot of Makers to chase that with. You know what . . . make that a double."

Now that I'm good and warm, I'm Veronica! 23, and livin in the mountains of California. Working on about 50 projects and always looking for kindred spirits of the writing world. Excited to be here, meet all the wonderful people and improve my skills.

Let's drink!
Cheers!
