Newbies, meet everyone else!

[Trisha]

Hello. My name is Trisha. I'm very excited to have found Goodreads. I recently finished my first novel and am excited about the learning curve this process has provided me. Can't wait to see what the next phase brings. Nice to meet you all.

[Cherylee]

Hi! Cherylee here. I love to read... books, magazines, shampoo bottles, you name it, I'm there. I'm also a writer. I finally have the first in a long serial published just a few days ago. I'm excited and terrified and just trying to get myself out there in the world.

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

Awesome! Welcome everyone, it's great to have some more experienced writers join :) I'm something of a novice myself.
PS I like reading the backs of shampoo bottles too. Air fresheners are good too!

[Anna]

I read news online...newspaper is too expensive.

[Taylor]

Hi, My name is Taylor.
I'm new here and I figured this is the best way to start!
If you'd like me to tell you (or just everyone) about myself, I can do that! :3

[Susan]

Hello, Happy Belated New Year! I'm new here. Love reading especially international fiction. Im also writing a novel. Nice to meet you all. :-)

[Heidi]

Hi there! :) My name is Heidi and, if you didn't guess it already, I'm new here. I'm not experienced writer but I do it because I love it and I want to improve. I mostly write oneshots because my long stories usually turn out to be... not so interesting. I'm trying to improve at that too! Usually I write romance but sometimes action and other stuff too. So, it's nice to meet you~

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

Hey Taylor, Susan and Heidi!
Welcome to TWC!

[Susan]

Thanks Sophia! :-)

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

No problemo ;)

[P.S.]

I've been doing a lot of reading and reviewing while I wait to proof my eighth book for publishing, any good book ideas?

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

Hmmm. Not sure. Any good ideas guys?
I quite like throwing out a random title or words and seeing where that takes me.

[Maya]

Welcome all newbies to TWC!

Hey Kayla!
I know, it is nice to be surrounded by like minded people although I am lucky enough to have a group of friends that love reading and writing.
Just out of interest, where do you come from?

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thats funny. I'm from NZ too!
I'm in Nelson. Are you from North or South island?

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

We've been having lots of cold mornings here which is not great for me getting up at five to go to swimming:(
Have you had a summer or has it been a stunted one like ours?
And Nelson is supposed to be the capital of sun >:(

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

That's pretty much the same as
Us.

Hi, I'm Jay and *sighs* I'm a write-aholic. I do urban fantasy/horror/mystery in one series and in the middle of trying my hand at a humor/mystery as well.

[Amanda]

Hi I'm Amanda

I'm an aspiring writer, avid reader, politically obsessed and an animal lover

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

Hey guys! Welcome to TWC.
We'll be looking forward to seeing some of your writing soon:)

[Renee]

Hi everyone! My full writing name is Renee Marie Philomena Therese Kray, but let's face it that's super long and no one wants to say that. So you can call me Renee, Nae Nae, Homburger, RMPTK, that random girl, hey you, or whatever else you can come up with. I'm not really picky.

I am the self published author of THINK AGAIN: A CAPTIVATING COMPENDIUM ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HSCBQLK ) and an addict to reading and writing.

Happy writing!

Hi, my name is Jacob. I love to write stories and scripts. I'm able to write action/adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, dark, comedy, and supernatural.

[Sofia]

Hi, Jacob! It's great to have you here, I look forward to reading some of your stuff :)

[Just Elise]

Hi everyone! I'm Elise, and I love horror, sci-fi and fantasy. I used to do a lot of writing (mostly just short stories), but somehow, unfortunately, got away from doing so. I want to get back into writing, and I'm hoping this group might inspire me, or at least be a nagging reminder to try. :)

[sᴏᴘʜ|☂]

Hey Elizabeth and Jacob!

[Elizabeth]

Hi, I'm Beth. I'm working on short stories, no particular genre.

[Taylor]

Thank you Sophia~ ^_^

Hi everyone! :)

[Dionne]

Hi I'm Dionne I'm new here to Goodreads. I'm an avid reader and I love to write. I've got a lot of stories that are either finished or incomplete. Presently I'm working on editing/revising one of my fantasy stories in the hopes of getting published. I'm looking forward to making new friends with the same interests as me.

[Michael]

Hi I'm Michael an aspiring writer who is just looking to meet folks as well as improve on my writing, and just love books haha. I look forward to getting to know you all

[Dionne]

Ditto!

may I ask what type of fantasy story it is you are writing? I'm taking an interest in fantasy so I'm just curious, no details just the form of fantasy is all I mean

[Sofia]

Hi everyone! Is great to have you here, I look forward to reading your stuff :)

[Dionne]

Its just about a young lady who discovers she's a part of a long line of powerful magic users that died out long ago. Well, with the exception of one.

[Michael]

well I hope you get the courage and will to show it (soon as you have it completed to perfection of course) because it does sound rather interesting :)

[Dionne]

*blinks* Really? I thought I was the only one who found it interesting. Interesting enough for me to write that is. I didn't think another would find it interesting just from the little I mentioned.

*thoughtfully* Maybe I should post one (1) chapter here, to see how you all react to it. If I feel you don't like it, it'll stay with me. *blushes*

[Michael]

of course, a small synopsis is all that's need to get someone's interest. I like to think I read anything and everything so I would definitely be interested in seeing that first chapter to :)

[Dionne]

Well my 'small' synopsis is anything but since I've been using it as a guideline to writing the story. I haven't yet created a small synopsis for, say, a publisher. That may or may not come later.

You know major cut down on my copy of the 'small' synopsis sort of like don't get too detailed, that sort of thing.

[Michael]

Yeah I get you, but it still leaves much to the imagination as well as allowing another to gain interest without the entire story being told.

[Dionne]

Hm....

[Dionne]

Maybe I will. But in that Fantasy section here. Just to let you know, the first chapter is a prologue which is in third person, the rest is told from the point(or whatever it's called) by the main character.

[Michael]

Something's something :)
Which reminds me I still have to put a lil something up Lol
But I look forward to yours Dionne

[Dionne]

Um...Sure. *gulps*
