Hi!
I don't believe I am completely computer illiterate but I spent about 20+ minutes trying to figure out how to even post an introduction post and was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything about posting a new thread and..... I realized that I wasn't logged in. SO. Here I am, a little older, a little wiser.

I am Niamh (pronounced Neev) Its Gaelic. I was born in the US to Irish immigrant parents, went back to the native land for both my undergrad and graduate degrees (Law and Medicine respectively). But I seem to have a hard time finishing anything, seeing as I don't work in either field. I have always tipped away at writing my NA Fantasy story for the past number of years and but am determined to see this thing to publication. And that's about it.

So hello and see you at the threads!

Nice to meet you, Niamh! My real-life name ends with a -agh and my sister's with a -db, so we know all about providing pronunciation guides. (Although my sister changed the spelling of hers when she became an adult. Coward!)

Anyway, we're glad to meet you.

Maryn, showing you where the snack table is

I'm still getting used to this site too! It's tough learning something new. It took me a while to figure out how to sign up. Then how to find anything in the forum. Then how to used the advanced features to critique. Phew! Just thinking about it again is tiring, and I still have so much to learn.

That's great that you're writing NA fantasy. I personally love NA and wish it would pick up steam.
