New writer seeking a friendly community - Writers Forum

Ruiner999 · 01-25-2005, 04:21 PM

Hi,

I've been writing recreationally for about four years and have been seeking other pursuers of our noble and rather revered craft. When I found this forum I think my overall feeling was that of elation for the pure and simple fact that I've been looking for a community to join for some time. A little bit about myself real quick, I've written and completed two short stories and am currently writing a book concerning the Vietnam War and a man's struggle to cope with what he's done. I hope that I can be a worthy addition to this community you've got going here.

Hi there.

Your project sounds interesting: I would be interested in hearing more about it. War tends to be a good background for exploring the human condition.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone else.

Hello and welcome to the forums, Ruiner999!

I think you'll be a welcomed addition to this great site. We enjoy getting new friends. Your book sounds good. I like stories dealing with Vietnam and all its after effects. I look forward to seeing you around the forum. If you ever need any help, feel free to contact a Mentor or a Moderator. We will be glad to help. Have fun!

Thanks for the warm reception from everyone so far. I'm rather glad that I decided to come here after having seen the veritable wealth of information that these forums have for getting published and things like tips on writing a book.

You will always find a couple of personalities that do not connect with yours.... But I found in general that this is a very active, enthusiastic, and pleasantly generous community.
Welcome!
