oh hey,
I'm Nick. I see there's a couple people here from other writing forums I know too.
let's see, a little about me... I'm a 31 year old father of 3 daughters and I like to write when i'm not doing my day job of a NYC Correction Officer.
I'm currently working on a novel I am super excited about. I'd started it about 5 or 6 years ago, wrote 3 chapters and then put it down. And about 2 months ago I dusted it off and I'm currently working on the 6th chapter. I seem to have fallen in love with writing again so much that I've gone ahead and applied for US trademark on the title and even registered the domain name. I know it's probably just me being pretentious since I'm unpublished and know relatively nothing about the industry but dammit, I believe in my writing - and isn't that worth something? Don't you have to believe in something to hope to inspire others with your work?
Okay what else.... Well I can't think of anything right now but feel free to ask me anything, or, just go ahead and ignore me if my upbeat attitude rubs you the wrong way.
I joined this forum in particular because it seems to specialize in fantasy (and by fantasy I hope that includes sci fi ) and while I do frequent another writing forum it seems the majority of the focus there is on poetry - not that I don't like poetry or anything... okay, i'm lying, i don't like poetry...very much. I can live with it, but I think I'm looking for a place more like this one where the focus is more on the art of story telling - though that's only my general assumption.
also the word wrap on this text box is really freaky. And I think I like that.
