    Greetings from a new writer

    Hi, everyone:

    I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi. I've been writing for a while. I went through a screenwriting phase, received a few nibbles, but nothing substantial, and then switched back to prose to write my first novel, which I'm trying to finish up during the quiet moments when my newborn isn't demanding my attention. I've dabbled with short stories, but I prefer writing longer fiction.



    I look forward to exploring the forum at length.

    Thanks.

    Marc Poliquin

    Hi Marc, welcome to WF.

    Here's hoping you enjoy your time on the boards.

    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)

    Welcome to WF, Marc.
    “The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” ~ James Allen
