I just joined yesterday and can't believe what is available here. This will make getting critiques a lot easier that much I know.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Sheila and I live in Australia. I have been writing fantasy stories since I was fifteen.
Perhaps by using this site I will get some needed American input to my stories. I hope to meet other authors on this site. BUT, I have been told that this isn't one of those sites where thousands of authors all clamor for a critique. I was told I might meet some via blogs or the chatroom. The site is relatively new so there isn't a whole lot of chat right now.
More later when I get the full feel of this site but so far, it looks like a great place.
