well, say Hi really. Nothing desperately eloquent. I am a new member and aspiring writer. I found this site by accident and, having looked through a few threads, think this might be a touch more useful than some of the other sites I have joined.

Welcome, Lixxy

Hello, Lixxy, and welcome to Writewords.

I hope the site proves as good as you expect. If you need any help finding your way around just give me or Nik Perring a shout – we’re here to help – or you can post a message in this forum, whichever you prefer.

Dee

Welcome on board, Lixxy! Are you going to join a group and post some of your work? And what kind of thing do you write?

Rosy

Hi, Lixxy, welcome to WW.

Emma

Hello and welcome. Like Dee said, give us a shout if you need pointing in the right direction.

Nik

Hi Lixxy and welcome from one newbie to another. I'm still on my 'free month' and have been having a ball on this site. Will definitely be joining - I feel like I've found my 'tribe'. Hope you have the same experience.

Welcome to the tribe, Susie!

Wow, what a fantastic welcome! Thanks everyone.

I do plan to join a couple of groups and post some of my work. I am still just finding my way around at the minute. I have to say the site looked a bit daunting at first but it's complexity is clearly a testament to the wealth of information and support available (god that sounded really posh didn't it?!).

I have been writing almost since I could hold a pen and my house is littered with notebooks and scraps of paper with ideas written on. I have 3 books that I am in the process of writing and loads of short story ideas. You know what it's like, I need to get some serious focus, but trying to run a business is taking up a lot of my time. Anyway, I am starting to gabble.

I am really looking forward to talking to you all.

Lixxy
