Well I guess I should introduce myself
I am here to say hello and a little about myself, so bear with me. I stumbled upon this forum while looking up resources for writing. I am in the midst, well not the midst but the beginning of writing a book. I plan to write about my pregnancy and the subsequent passing of my daughter. After my daughter passed away I tried to find books about the loss of a child but everything I came across dealt with teaching your child about loss. Seeing as I am not a seasoned pro when it comes to writing, I really hope I will find some valuable resources here while embark on my journey of writing a book. My goals throughout this endeavor are not to make lots of money but I mainly want to do it for myself as well as provide a resource for others who experience similar events to mine because when that type of thing happens, for me personally, I felt completely alone and hope to tell others of my story and hopefully give them some comfort in the fact that though it won't happen immediately, it will get better.
Well I guess that is about it, sorry for such a lengthy intro.

Thanks! I am not new to the forum game I actually run a pregnancy and parenthood forum elsewhere. I am just glad to hear that I can find answers to my questions because I am sure I will be asking plenty in the months to come!

Yep, that's how I found my first home writing forum, too. This one's pretty good. As far as opinion and advice go just be cognizant of the fact that sometimes you'll get pearls of wisdom and sometimes you'll get exactly what you're paying for.
Since you're not new to forums you probably already know that but I'm too lazy to erase.
Welcome!
