I am Pence, or at least that is what my friends call me. I am a fan of both Fantasy and Sci Fi, though I lean more towards Fantasy. Some of my favorite series are the Wheel of Time, The Sword of Truth, and Song of Ice and Fire. I also enjoy plenty of Manga, with Berserk being my most favorite out of them all.

I come to the site because, as I get closer to publishing my fantasy novel, the realization dawned on me that I should be involved in an active community of other writers. I was a part of another forum that I found through NaNoWriMo for awhile full of fantastic people, but it has become a ghost town as of late. Hopefully I can meet more cool people here and learn a thing or two before jumping down the publishing rabbit hole.

I am currently on my second draft of my fantasy novel that started as a NaNoWriMo project. The journey was long, but it's starting to shape from the unmitigated mess it was into an actual story. I am very excited to see the finished product.

All in all, I can wait to meet all of you and learn more about the process!

I'm not so sure about that. I doubt I'll be finished by November, but I'll be pushing to finish it up. It still has a lot of work it needs. I may take a break for NaNoWriMo though. I have a few ideas floating around in my head that'd I'd like to play with. Thank you though!


I appreciate all the info. Thanks!

Great to see a polished novel coming out of a NaNo experience.

Best of luck, and welcome to AW!

Welcome to AW! Also, Berserk is awesome.

That it is. I have been working on getting caught up with the manga recently. I got behind when Dark Horse brought it over to America.


Pure class! That's my favourite series. Just finished book 11.

It is a great series. I haven been meaning to finish the last few books, but it had been such a long time since I read the series I needed to reread it, and that is a brutal undertaking.

Welcome. I guess I’m living in a bubble because I’d never heard of NaNoWriMo until joining this site myself a couple days ago. Sounds like quite an accomplishment. :Clap: 50000 words in a month would be way beyond me.

I'm the same. I love the series, and when I start reading I devour it, but each book is so huge I tend to put it off until I'm completely out of the story.
