Hey all! Brand new to the site, and saw this section, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've recently moved to Seattle from San Francisco, and am originally from England. Many years ago after leaving college I wrote a bunch of short stories, naively thinking I could make a living that way. I had a lot to learn in terms of both life and writing. After some time I wound up getting a job in technical journalism. My career has changed completely since then, but on and off I've thought of trying my hand again at writing. And so here I am.
Hi Vronsky, and welcome to the forum. Here's our New Member Guide to get you started. You'll find plenty of information on this site about writing, writing techniques, publishing etc. And of course you'll meet new people. Have fun! -Kat
