    Hello to all

    Hi,

    I'm new to this forum, and really forums in general - I may be the only 20 something year old who still doesn't quite get the internet. In any case, I've joined because I enjoy writing, have for fun for quite some time, but am in the midst of trying to write something resembling a novel for the first time. I'm hoping that reading what others have posted, and posting my own work will be really helpful. So yeah, good to be here.

    Hi Nolan, and welcome to the forums.

    I am 67, but we have something in common, I hardly use the net other than this site. I came here, like you, looking for ideas and feedback and I have never felt the need to go elsewhere, hope you find what you want here, welcome to the forum.

    Forums are definitely a dying breed - though I personally wish they weren't - so I was glad that I found this site. It's good that you've found it too!
