Hello all, I am glad to say it is nice to be here :) I found this site while looking for information and advice in writing.

I have been working on my fantasy book for some time now, and just finished my bazzillionth set of revisions so figured now may be the time to start the query adventure. Lol Now I’m too nervous that everything is wrong XD

It’s nice to see such a big community of writers! I’m sure this site will be very helpful!

Hi Anadalya, that's how I found this place, too.

Welcome, and I hope you get all you want from writing.

Hello, Anadalya! You'll find there are some really great resources here. You may also find many personalities you really enjoy and others you don't so much... It's like anywhere, really.

Take the good and leave the bad and you'll have tons of great advice to help you on your writing adventure. I wish you the best of luck with your queries, and don't forget to keep writing while you wait! :D

Hello and welcome, fellow fantasy writer.
I am also a fantasy writer and I find the creation process absolutely amazing. (this goes for all genres)
I mean, think about it. You create a world from scratch.
What could be more awesome than that??

:welcome:, Anadalya!

Assuming you've read a lot of your genre and paid attention to style and syntax, your tenacity at shaping and revising means you're more right than wrong.

Get to know others, and after fifty legitimate posts, visit Share Your Work. Then, locate a critique partner or two, maybe a beta reader. The writing world is your oyster. :D

I stumbled upon this website via a youtube video. But regardless of how we got here we're all here! It sounds like you have a lot of the necessary skills to be a successful writer, just keep your mind open and your chin up. :)
