Hello all!

I have wanted to pursue writing since childhood. I am about to get my law degree, but I've decided to take some time off and focus my attention and energy on writing drivel that might turn into a novel (and a few short stories.) I mostly write speculative fiction and am 30k words in on my novel. Right now it can best be described as post -apocalyptic fiction.

Anyway, that's a bit about me. Looking forward to getting to know you all :)

Welcome to the Water Cooler! Love the Sailor Moon avatar! I can find an appreciation for post apocalyptic writing. I enjoy the "What if" factor.

Best wishes, and please understand that those of us on the top end of the globe (I live in Alaska) are by no means ignorant of your nation, its history and culture. Among my favorite nonfiction writers is historian Alan Moorehead, as just one example. And Oz-based movies have been major attractions here for many years. Welcome aboard.
Now, contact Poetinahat and Helix, members here for a long time, and well-respected.

Hey there - welcome! There are a few of us here from Oz, but we're a small enough group to still be a novelty!
