Guess I should've done this to begin with...

I would like to introduce myself, although it seems somewhat redundant at this point. I did introduce myself on the Editor's Forum briefly, thinking, in my noobiness, that would suffice.

So, here it is. I am a young 42-year-old married female with one child. I have a bachelor's degree in teaching, although I've never really taught. I work at home doing medical transcription and find that days can go by without one intelligent adult conversation taking place.

I have always wanted to write, but it never occurred to me that I could do it just for my own satisfaction and entertainment until about 5 months ago. I wrote a few erotic stories, which I shared with friends. They liked them, but even better, I loved writing them.

I know a lot of you probably think I shouldn't be here in the AH, but I disagree. I subscribe to the theory that you have to "dress for the job." I am an author, unpublished, but an author nontheless. Unlike some others, I am confident that my stories will be posted on Lit. Not because I think I'm a literary genius, but because I will work on them until they are good enough to pass muster.

Whew! This has become much more long winded than I intended.

Thank you to everyone who has made me feel welcome and to everyone who has offered their kind assistance. It means a lot. :catroar:

Allow me to be the first to welcome you, Kitty. Keep your hands inside the wagon at all time, don't feed the trolls, and most importantly, just have fun. :rose:
 
Why shouldn't you be here? You're over 18. You write. You're an author. This is the Author's Hangout. Come in and hang out.

A welcome :kiss: for the newbie from a good little witch.

I wrote one for the flash fic thread. Your turn.
 
How do, kitty. Nice to have you here.

Don't worry. We're not especially fussy about the people lurking here being authors. Or at least I'm not. Smart, literate and good hearted counts a lot more for me.

Submit a story, let us read it. I'd love to see what you can do.
 
Welcome. :rose:

Glynndah's the good witch, I'm the bad witch - we thought it'd be best to divide duties that way.
 
Thank you everyone. You're all so nice.

Cloudy, I already know better. You and LadyC protected me from a bad witch in the Editor's Forum.

Rob, I have two stories that are being edited right now. Hopefully, I'll get them submitted soon.

Glynndah, that was so sweet. Don't make me cry! (I'm a sap.)

You're not a bad witch, you're a badass bitch. ;)

Anyway, welcome, tickled. :rose:
 
Welcome to the rubber rooms. The walls are padded for your protection. What with al the *flyingtacklehugs* and *POUNCES* going on, a person could get injured. It also makes a soft place for cuddlepiles and other fun activities......

:rose: :kiss:

Oh and beware of the dirty old men, not all of them are marked..... and not all of them are men......;) :D :rolleyes:
 
Welcome!

We are more interested in the "hangout" aspect, really- not everyone has to be an "author" :)

(but we can be geeks without fear, you know? )
 
Thanks FatDino, CeriseNoire, TxRad, and Stella.

I'm well-versed in dealing with dirty old men, marked or not. ;)

Stella, I've been hanging out too much lately. Not getting anything done!
 
Listen to cantdog - he knows what he's talking about.

Welcome, kitty!

:rose:
 
Welcome to AH. You have as much right to be here as anybody else - and you're already playing with us. :D And by introducing yourself, you have better manners than I do...hmm.

Thank you. I think you have very nice manners. :)
