Kimber is on a distinguished road
Smile Hi!
Hello! I'm Kimber. I'm trying to find my way around this place and figured I should start here.

I have a couple of short stories (bizarro and horror erotica)published or pending. I've also finished a novella (sci-fi erotica) that I am currently cleaning up.

In addition, I have 140K done of a YA that I hope to get back to soon (yes I would use a different name for the teen book ). I was worried I had a fear of completing projects and moved to shorts, and then the novella, to convince myself otherwise. Time to get back on that horse.

I guess I love too many genres, both reading and writing, to limit myself to just one or two.

I originally stumbled upon this site in search of a place to connect with beta readers and still hope I can make some good contacts here eventually.

Anyhoo, thanks for the anticipated warm and fuzzy welcome!

Kimber

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.
