Newbie saying hi to everyone!

BlueBunny · Apr 29, 2013

Hi everyone! I've actually been lurking around AW for quite some time now, getting as much writing advice as i possible can! And now that I've completed my first manuscript and officially joined, I'd like to take a second to introduce myself!

I graduated college last May 2012, and here I am now, trying to find my place in the real world. One thing that definitely hasn't changed since ever is my obsession for reading books and writing.

I hope to make more writer friends and be an active part of this community! I'm excited to meet you all!

Congrats on finishing your manuscript! What's your book about, BlueBunny, if you don't mind my asking? (I guess I'm assuming it's a book, and not a screenplay?)

BlueBunny, glad to have you on AW. If you've been lurking, then you know what a great site it is.

BlueBunny,

Welcome to AW! I once spent an extended, all expense paid vacation in San Diego. The Navy called it boot camp. I ended up catching a cold. How ironic is that!

Welcome from a fellow May 2012 college graduate. I'm still trying to find my way in this huge, scary world.

Welcome and write on! Congrats on finishing that MS. I love that feeling of accomplishment when it's done, even though I know I have a ton of revisions to do.

Don't mind at all! By "finished manuscript" i really mean it needs A TON of revising and editing lol

It's in the YA scifi/action/dystopian genre. Haven't written the synopsis yet, but its about two friends who tryout for a brutal and competitive sport (that only exists in that world) in the hopes of winning the grand prize, which holds the key to saving one of their fathers from a much bigger threat.

That's my super simplified summary!

BlueBunny · Apr 30, 2013

Thanks everyone! Revisions here I come!

I suspect they're never truly finished unless/until they're in print.

Sounds very promising!

Hello & congrats on completing your first manuscript. Good luck with editing. At the moment it feels like a bit of an endless black hole for me.
