Hi everyone,
I am new to here and a relatively new writer. I have been looking for an ACTIVE forum such as this for a while, as I am very enthusiastic to connect with other writers and improve my craft. I have competed my first manuscript and I am working on my second and third. I have not submitted anywhere as I want to refine it as much as possible before I do, and also because I am terrified of the whole querying scenario!
I have read through a few posts here already, and have read the newbie guide. Oh no, I think I have found a new way to spend all the time I don't have! Lol, I see I'll be getting even less writing done now! So happy to find a place where everyone contributes. Thanks for letting me join :)

Amber

Take some time and read the Newbie Guide and the Stickies found
at the top of Forum pages. They are your best guide to learning about
Absolute Write.

Don’t forget to read the FAQ regarding posting pictures at AW.


In fact, we have lots of brilliant FAQs check them out.


Members who want to start a thread in Share Your Work to have work critiqued need
50 posts. Don’t make a mad dash to reach your 50 posts. Take some time to greet fellow newbies,
critique other members’ works, or join a discussion.

"Hello Amber, and welcome to Bob's Pizzaria we have 7 different toppings and 4 different types of cheese, thick or thin crust, stuffed crust, double crust and no crust.(No crust is kind of messy, I wouldn't recommend it)and we have..."

"What...darn it all...sorry, when I went down the hall to ask what time it was, they told me it was 7 o'clock. I naturally assumed that it was 7pm. Time to switch hats. Back in a sec..."


"Hello." he says while still stuffing his shirt into his pants (or shorts) as she can't see.

"Welcome to the AW Water Cooler where we swim in the same water that's in the cooler jug."

"We don't swim in the jug...it's too small, although Marty had a good shot at it and got his head and one arm in...but that's another story."
"No we just fill the pool with the same water, that way if you start laughing while under the water, you can be sure that you're swallowing 99.5% pure spring water that's good for you."

"You don't want to know what the other 0.5% is."

"Anyway, feel free to drink in the knowledge that this site can bring."
