Rameth: I'm just finishing up my BA in creative writing from UCSC and have been hard at work on an Urban Fantasy/Legal Thriller hybrid that will hopefully get finished...
Welcome and as a huge grisham and new lincoln lawyer fan, I can't wait for this series. As far as I know, it sounds like fresh exciting genre mix.
Oh, and get a life. It will greatly improve your writing!! Hugs. We can't live on words alone. Feed your craft with life, even at the end of school years.

Newbie here. Came here because I'm starting to write again after a long break and I was checking out some of my favorite authors for writing advice. Finding Jim's livejournal was almost enough to convince me that there is a loving God, and then I find there's even a writing community on the site itself.
As for myself, I'm a twenty-six year old male who's dabbled with writing in the past but never really put in the required effort to complete a story to my satisfaction. The series I'm working on now has been bubbling in my noggin for about 6 years in one form or another, and I finally feel like I have a solid enough grasp on the world, the backstory, and the destination to get to work on a first draft. I'll definitely come to seek help here when I start running into problems.

Welcome, and come to share your own knowledge with us. Creativity doesn't need a degree; just brain cells that spark! A comment you share on an idea might spark the next great book, and likewise, someone may fire up your brain cells on a dark and hopeless night.
We write not because we want to do so on a whim; we write because we must.
Breandan:
Well, it's not a novel, but the RPG I wrote is now published, just hit the printers last night and should be shipping out in two weeks. So, I am officially published... sorta :D

Yippeee! And, yes, I think that counts in my book.
