I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself before I start obnoxiously posting in this forum.
My name is Lia and I have decided to take my writing more seriously ( you can stop laughing now…I am serious) and have been looking to gain a few new net-friends who also share my same interests.
I have a muse that stalks me and incessantly whispers new ideas in my ear …seriously she wont shut up. I swear I have enough ideas/plots/characters to keep my pen going until I am well into my golden years.
My friends say (no these are not imaginary friends) this is some form of psychiatric problem but I disagree…besides I found nothing about it while self diagnosing on Web MD.
The genres that I write in most are Horror/Adventure/ Historical Romance/ I also have dabbled a bit in Fantasy. I probably stand the best chance to be published in Romance. I have two stories I am working on and hope to submit by the end of this year. It will be my first time submitting so I have no expectations but if I can even get a nice rejection letter I think that I may frame it.
Well enough about me, I am off to snoop around in the threads.
;D

Welcome to the site, lia! It's great to have you here, and I hope your stay will be long and eventfull. I'm one of the Global Mods here, so if you have any questions, always feel free to ask me or one of the admins, who no doubt will be showing up shortly to greet you as well. I completely understand what you mean about the muse- I have the same problem, with about 20 stories going at the same time. I need to just sit down and work on one of them! For romance, are you writing just regular romance, or historical? If historical, what time period? History is one of my favorite subjects in school if you ever need help with any fact or other. Anyways, enough of my blabbering: I'll shut up and let the other members say hi. Again, welcome to the site! Lady Mage

Hey, Lia, I'm Meluivan or M as everyone around here calls me. I created this little corner of the net and with help of many friends keep it semi alive and prospering.
I really don't have a muse, I just keep getting stalked by plot bunnies. Everytime I turn around I swear I could see little cotton puffs in the corners of my eyes, but alas they are gone when I'm looking for them. But they certainly leave behind story ideas enough for ten people to write on.
I mostly write either fan-fiction or family based stories. I love writing father-son, sibling-sibling, etc, etc angsty stories.
But anyhow, I hope to see more of you around here and that you really enjoy what you find. If you need anything at all, let me know.
M.

Oh, you're snarky. I like you already. Welcome to Novice Writers, Lia Congratulations on taking the step to be published! My muse seems to be striking alongside the WGA, but it happens. I'm certainly glad yours is vivacious and chatty. I too love historical romances, so I'll be thrilled to ready any you decide to post. Enjoy yourself around the site, and happy writing.

Greetings, Lia! Glad to have you aboard S.S. Novice Writers. We're a lovely crew here, most days. Firstly, congratulations again on working on publishing! That's an interesting task, so I hear from some friends of mine (who are published). Well, I'm Ri. And I have neither a muse nor plot bunnies...I have epiphanies! ("Apostrophes...lightning has just struck my brain..."....anyone who can guess quote that gets a cookie.) Or something. I am plagued by the typo monkey, however. But anyway! Historical romance is fun to read, so like Mage I'd love to know the period you like to write if you're particular about it. Hope you have a nice stay here! Ri

^.^ Wazzup? I'm just some random person that M. picked up off of the cyber-street, but I still like hanging around here. The cyber-weather is pretty nice on most days.
Getting published, huh? Good luck ^.^
Anyways, welcome to NW! (I always type NV first for some God-awful reason) ... It's not too late to enter the contests if you want. 9 more days I think? I think. *nods* Yeah, maybe. xD

Shoot, I gotta get my cosplay pick up. It's a good day to take the pictures! Anyway. You'll find soon enough that we're all a crazy bunch, but we're friendly and very accepting of new people. So, as Mage said, if you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask the Mods, Global Mods, and Admins. Even if it's just a small thing, don't hesitate. We like helping people. heh Okay, I'm done.
