Hey thread readers!

I've been introduced to this site by a friend in real life. I was skeptical at first, but surfing through some threads has proven helpful.

I'm hoping to calm (or at least control) and improve my sporadic writing skills and habits. I am currently working on the first novel that I am 100% serious about and it is proving itself more than challenging. I would consider the story a horror/thriller/drama? It'll work itself out (hopefully).

I can't see myself as anything other than a novelist, someone who creates worlds and events and shares them with people who are interested.

I already know that all of you are going to be helpful and friendly, as I saw in the threads. I am looking forward to working with you and thanks in advance!

Hi Al!

Welcome to AW!

Please read about AW basics in the Newbie Guide!

*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!*
