Massachusetts Boy

[Good Apollo]

Hi, guys. My name is James - I'm 19, and I'm from Massachusetts. I usually write fiction. I have a dog.

Wow, my life sounds boring. But hopefully my future posts can extend past the lame expository opener.

Glad to be here.

Welcome to the forum, James! Don't worry, other than writing I've got nothing going on, so you don't sound boring at all.

 

[Good Apollo]

Good to know that boredom loves company, haha.

There must be a reason why writers drift toward heavy drinking..

Welcome James...

 

[Bricta]

Hi James! Welcome.

 

[alleycat]

Welcome.

 

[MichelleJean]

Welcome! I love Mass. - I used to vacation there with my parents.

 

[Good Apollo]

Yeah, I happen to love it around here. Pretty relaxing, actually.

Thank you for the warm welcome... even at this time of day, haha.

AW never sleeps. Since this truly is a worldwide forum, there are always members online.

 

[Good Apollo]

True.. but a lot of these members are US-based.

Even writers need sleep!

 

[alleycat]

Well, besides heavy drinking (and coffee), writers don't always keep regular hours.

I have a dog as well ... Welcome to AW!

 

[Good Apollo]

Thanks, ladies and gentlemen!

A fellow dog owner? That's two of us... what are the odds?

And Smiley, always glad to give off some MA vibes, haha.

Welcome from another Massachusetts writer with a dog.

 

[Amber Nae]

I also have a dog. Well, he's more like a child.

 

[Good Apollo]

I know the feeling, Amber...

Oh my. So many dogs. Everyone's coming out of the woodwork.

 

[Amber Nae]

Does your dog eat better than you too?

 

[Good Apollo]

Alas, alas... the truth is sad... but yes, I would say so.

 

[Amber Nae]

Ah, glad to know mine isn't the only one.

Hi James!

Welcome to AW!

Please do as Reg suggests and read about AW basics in the Newbie Guide!

Many questions about using this software can be found in the FAQ's menu in the handy blue bar at the 'top' of this page. Also handy for first-time users is the common acronym list. This helps you identify those mystifying abbreviations.

The most helpful Novel thread in all of AW: here.

*Critiques* New members often ask about having work critiqued! They should first read the 50 Post rule. But when it comes to actually posting writing in the Share Your Work (SYW) area, this thread addresses many first time questions, while this one covers most common problems. found in SYW posts. *Worth reading no matter how long you have been here!*
