Hi everyone :)

Not exactly a new member, but this is my first post. Quick intro to me....I've been writing poetry and fiction since I was knee high to a Leprechaun (well, a tall one anyways :p ) and pretty much read anything with words, although FF is my bubble gum for the brain. At the moment I'm unpublished. Obvious goal is to rectify that at some future date. After decades of writing and never really believing I could someday be a published author or poet, I decided to be brave and take a leap and try do something with the thousands of pages of writing stuffed in my desk drawers....so bye bye full time job, hello full time writer (was the plan....) ......But life being what it is had different plans and threw a curve ball my way just as I stumbled across this amazing forum. Sooo, after many ups and downs, and 10 ish? years, I finally get to say hello :)
I'm looking forward to meeting new people, sharing new ideas, learning new concepts, and hopefully making new friends along the way to getting my first book published.

:welcome:, Ash. Wow! You had the moxie to quit a steady paycheck and count on writing to pay the bills. Impressive.

I write a little and edit a lot for income, but that was only after the bosses cited "Too old and deaf," kicked me out of the building, and changed the locks.

Here's hoping you find the support you need to sell stories here at AW. It's a great place for it.
