    New in town

    What ho, salutations, greetings, good day...hello?
    Very strange for me to return to an internet board; I've been absent from computers for a while now, but tonight I wondered why I hadn't tried to get in touch with other writers and so, here I am. I'm very glad to make your acquaintance, and it's great to see that there are indeed so many out there. I look forward to getting to know some of you.
    Little about myself: I'm a student of my local college here in sunny old England, studying Physics and Mathematics, and am currently applying to university to study for a master's degree in Theoretical Physics. However, by night, I write. *possible background lightning, should it help*
    I've spent most of my free time writing since I was twelve and have thus far succeeded in my backhanded attempts at a few uncompleted novels and a couple of novellas. However, this year I finally completed my first literary fiction novel, which has been in the works for over two years, and I have now taken up the hunt for unwary agents.

    Great to be here, be seein' ya!

    Ahoy there, Felix. Congrats on finishing your first novel; that really is a milestone to be proud of. I'll hopefully get there soon. . .

    Anyway, welcome aboard . I look forward to reading some of your work.

    Good luck(!)

    Thanks very much, I look forward to posting some of my work.
    And yes, I'm very pleased to have it finished. There was a great deal of satisfaction when I printed the hard copy of the final draft. Getting my first rejection letter from an agent was also rather exciting, despite the fact that it was a rejection. I'm thinking of pinning it up...

    Hi Felix. I like the attitude about pinning the rejection. Welcome to WF!

    Hello and welcome, Felix.

    (You were pulling our legs about England being sunny, though, right? Right?)

    Thanks again for the welcomes.
    And yes, sunny old England exists only in my mind, I'm afraid.

    I hadn't noticed this before but there is a thread about rejection letters on the forums. You could, you know, "pin it up" here.
