Cool Newbie
New to this forum. Looking for somewhere to park my hat.

Been writing for a short while only, and looking to write shorts and flashes, and work on novels too. Not much then.

MDavis is well-respected
Let me be the first to welcome you then, Rob!

I'm less than a month old (i.e. a newbie too) and I've found the people on this board to be friendly, helpful, and honest. I hope you have a good experience too!

Hiya, Rob. Our back yard is 'decorated' (using the term loosely) with curb finds, and I have a very nice brass hat rack next to a Windsor chair missing only one leg. Please feel free to hang your hat there any time at all!

Maryn, who thinks it's nearly warm enough to set out the other chairs

Looking for something within AW? You can also use Google. Type "site:absolutewrite.com/forums/ search terms" where you put your own search terms in and you don't use the quotation marks. Easy peasy!
