Hey everyone! I've already made a few posts and threw up a short story, but figured I'd better formally introduce myself in the proper place. What to say... I'm 29, married for 6 years (with her for 13) and have two kids (the three of them my entire world). I've enjoyed writing since I was young, starting back in fourth grade when I decided I wanted to re-write a movie I had watched. (Odd, huh?) My favorite author is Dean Koontz, though I've been thoroughly enjoying Robert McCammon and Cormac McCarthy. (The Road is an AMAZING book.) I live in Maine. I always get asked "Do you live near Stephen King!?" In my intro's nowadays, I answer the question before I'm asked. Yes, I live about 15 minutes from Mr. King. My wife went to school with his son. Family, football, writing, gaming and auto restoration/customization are my hobbies. I've been on the writing forum scene for years, accumulating around 10,000 posts. I've also tinkered with my own site, forums and all. It's all just too much work, so I come to places like this. And that's good for now, I suppose. haha Nice to be here.
Hello there Normally I'd say have a look around and feel free to speak up, but since you've already done that, I'll just say hello again. Hello again.
Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy (or are already enjoying) the company and resources here, and find the forums helpful for your writing. If you run into any problems, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to offer assistance, wherever it's needed.
Welcome! I hope you like it here. Feel free to ask any question you please and of course, keep writing.
Hello Kravorkian, Welcome to the Writing Forums. If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room on this site, therefore, is a true workshop, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Hey there, welcome to the site. I am Heather and can always been found around here somewhere. If you ever need anything reviewing, need a little help or just want a chat then send a PM my way and I’ll be more then happy to help. Heather
Seriously you are so damn privileged it isn't funny. I idolize that man. He is the reason I write prose! <Bows at your feet> Welcome to the forum my good man I do hope you enjoy your time here among us not so normal people! Yes we are not normal! The forum is just a cover up for our insanities to spill forth into the world wide web! mwahahahahahahahahaha Yeah anyways....welcome and enjoy your time here. I look forward to seeing you around the board again. Our paths have already crossed on the boards and I am sure they will time and time again <you poor thing I send many insane that is for sure> Also you should check out the contests in the weekly writing group and join in the fun. Torana
Thanks Torana. Maybe if I hang around and create a second family here, I can try to get a King autograph for you. haha I'm testing the waters for now, as I do with all forums I visit. (Hence the reason I've yet to give an in-depth review. I hate to give, and not get...so I wait to see how it is.) Everything looks good so far!
