Greetings,
From an Australian writer marooned in the USA.
By "linkage" I ended up at this forum looking for something else, liked the layout, and registered.
Originally from the land of golden sand beach's, deep blue waters and yachts, my employment as the Narrative Director with a computer game company brought me across the Pacific. The company produced a second tier game with 500,000 units sold worldwide. We were contracted with a large studio to make a second and third title with the possibility of a film.
It all came down to $$$, and with the economy tanking in the last year or so, the studio finally closed it's doors...leaving a buddy and I short changed. The good news out if however, is I now have the IP of my work returned.
These days I write for myself, the most recent success being first place in a writers competition for a recent release of "Chicken Soup for the Soul."
Having married a local girl, we're based out of SoCal with no yacht, green seaweed water and gritty beaches.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, which is in a sticky thread at the top of the Newbie Forum. If you have any problems you can PM (private message) me and I'll see if I can help, or you can post in the Super-Dooper Newbie 'Ask the Mod' thread at the top of the newbie forum.

To find out about the various buttons and icons, and also about rep points, how to PM (private message) members, custom avatars and a whole host of other useful stuff, check out Cathy_C's thread, which is also stickied at the top of the Newbie forum, Next on our tour, if you'll look to the left, you'll notice...

And for fun, we have the terrific Newbie Question of the Day thread. Pop in and have a go at answering a few of the really easy questions (the link is in the sig line below). They are easy. Yep, they are. And it's so much fun.

Oh, and do you like double choc-chip cookies?

Hey! Welcome to the AW cooler! :hi:

We are a friendly bunch and you should be able to find anything you are interested in here. And don’t worry about Jed, the newbie Mod. He looks fierce but he is really a big green softy…well a kinda lumpy softy. It is from all those bruises from pokes with sticks…:e2poke:
Anyway, Welcome and make yourself at home. We tend to party a lot around here, hope you like to dance....

:PartySmil


PS- if you are looking for fun places to start exploring these are my personal favorites:

Jed's Super-Dooper Newbie 'Traditional Irish Pub' and Pink Flamingo Emporium
