Smile greetings from New Jersey!
Hi everybody!!!

I am looking for an online writing community, and I hope I have found the place.

I have been writing off and on (mostly off) for over 20 years. I have more novel starts and stops than I can count or remember. Most of them sucked, but I look at is as writing practice.

I have made a vow to myself to finally finish writing a novel this year. I write every morning before work. My goal is to have 75,000 by July 2, 2012.

thanks for having me !!!

I like living in Jersey too. Except the traffic. God this state has some shitty traffic.

But welcome. I think you'll like it here. It's a super useful community.

But when you learn to drive in NJ, you really LEARN TO DRIVE. And you learn how to wait patiently while on the Garden State Parking Lot.

Okay. Now I've turned a welcome to AW thread into a thread about something else. *stormie wanders off*

Yeah, but the driver's exam is in a parking lot. Riddle me that, Batman!

Off topic again. Welcome, I LOVE COFFEE! I, too, love coffee. It's like we are soul mates. Enjoy the Write.

Traffic. Ugh. But on the flip side, this traffic is what makes us either the best drivers in the universe, or the craziest.
