I've been looking through some of the beware threads, so I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself. I'm Vanessa, 40. I teach English comp. I'm the founder and editor of a literary poetry magazine. Right now I'm sending my fantasy novel out. I guess I feel like I've wasted a lot of time, but I hope to waste less in the future!

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. I was wondering if it is appropriate to ask questions in this area?
