Hi everyone! I'm the newbie here for now until someone takes my spot.
I chanced upon this forum and thought I'd go for it since my mind runs very freely, especially when I'm bored.
In fact, whenever I am bored (which unfortunately doesn't happen too often while I'm away in college) or trying to fall asleep, I just craft random stories in my head. I've never put any of them down in writing, but I figured I could start now.
I have been published, but only in technical writing. While the technical writing in scientific journals is highly informative, it is far from entertaining (Seriously, who besides the ultimate nerds gets a kick out of reading the words some biologist uses in describing how he got his vial of goo? Okay, I admit I do, but that's beside the point).
I might post a random original story or two should I decide on popping out of my bubble, but until then I guess I'll just surf around.

Hello there, and welcome to Novice Writers! It's never too late to put the stories we dream up to paper, trust me. For years I did quite the same thing. Always creating in my mind, but not with the pen. And technical writing is still writing, and if it's something you're passionate about, more power to you (it's well over my head, but I'm living over here in Idrilville) Anyway, we're doing some contests right now, if you're wanting to jump in and join the fun. They're always enjoyable and great help to get a story going. Hope you enjoy the forum; happy writing

Hey, and again welcome, as our dear Idril has beaten me to it. Glad to have you aboard the U.S.S. Novice Writers, where we ship any pairing...and incredibly corny jokes (told by some other members and myself). Agreed, if you're interested, we have contests going right now, and they are fun. So please do have a look at them, even if you don't plan to enter. Once more, glad to have you here, and hopefully you feel welcomed. I'm Ri, one of the co-administrators, so if you have any questions about things here, feel free to ask me or the other admins (Idril, and M) and we'll help you out!

Ah, they both beat me to it this time.
Hello, bored. You don't mind if I call you that do you? Or would you prefer IM? Well I'm Meluivan or M as everyone calls me around here. Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy it just as much as the rest of us do and if you need anything feel free to send me a message.
As the ladies mentioned we do have some contests going on and I guess I don't have to say anymore since they already did. Give them a go. You might be surprised at how well you do.
M.

Hello I.M.Bored, I.M. as my Display name states. You may call me DL, Lili, or Mars. It's good you make up stories in your head.
The contest I must admit, are hard sometimes. There's writer's block, the worry of cliche, and the need to make it perfect.
