    Red face Hello from Wisconsin

    Hello, I write in a small town in central Wisconsin. I have been writing for about 25 years and have only a few articles published. I enjoy writing/reading fantasy. I also like to read crime stuff. Love dogs!!
    Looking to advance my writing and maybe actually finish a novel I am working on. I am not worried about publishing, people often ask me when I will have a book out, if they can have a signed copy and all that. But my main concern is getting something on paper (or computer screen).

    Hello hello! I'm also from a small town in central Wisconsin (Baraboo), though I don't write there -- I live in Pennsylvania now. Sounds as if you've been writing for as long as I've been alive.

    Welcome to the forums! They're a good tool to keep motivation and inspiration high, as well as to get feedback.

    Hi! Welcome to the forums. I live in a small town in central Wisconsin too! Though, as far as central Wisconsin though, I don't think it's considered small.
    What's the fun in being a circle among other circles? I want to be a square.

    I used to live in Baldwin, myself.

    Hey, a few articles is a good start! Most people haven't published that much!

    Welcome to the forums. Hope to see you around.
    I love constructive criticism much more than shallow praise.

    Hello. I am Maggie and I live in Florida. I've been writing for 19 years now, starting with short stories at age 11 and evolving into full-length novels when I graduated high school at age 18, in 2000. Nice to meet you!
