Nice to see such a great forum
Hello everyone,
I am a new writer in the world, and have stumbled across this site while searching for novel writing techniques. I am about 9,400 words into my first novel, and I feel pretty comfortable with it so far. I write about a total of 5k words a week, and am doing my best to stick to that routine. I do have my doubts whether this story will be intersting to other people, but I am NOT letting that keep me from doing my best.
This seems like such a great place to share problems, and to get help, that I could'nt resist registering. I look forward to giving my advice, as well as receiving advice from master writers and even novices such as myself.
Just thought I'd say hello to everyone before I jumped back into my own novel.

Welcome to the forums. I felt exactly the same way when I stumbled over the site quite by accident. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact a mentor.

Great subject line "Nice to see such a great forum."
Same thing I thought when I joined and got such great welcomes from everyone.
I write about a total of 5k words a week, and am doing my best to stick to that routine.
I went to a seminar when I was in Columbus, Oh and one of the best pieces of advice that was transferred to me was to WRITE.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
C-Breezzz, don't worry, I have the same problems sometimes too with forum entries. Nature of the beast. I now have 11k words written and I hope to a higher being I can keep it up.
Thanks again everyone. I'll do my best to fit in.
