Hello Everyone,
Mike from Rhode Island here. just wanted to say what a great site all of you have created. I say "all of you" because it seems like the collective unit as a whole seems to really help make this a positive and educational writing resource site.

As for me: I am currently writing short stories as a way to break into the magazine and short fiction contest circuit. From what I understand, this is a great place to start when planning on becoming a novelist. That way when you send a query to an agent or publisher, they can see some credentials on it.

I'm 29 years old, which I know is probably a late time to start writing in your life, but I have never been one to be punctual.

Anyway, thanks again for the great site and I hope I can contribute my fair share of helpful tips along the way.

Hey Mike, welcome on board and thanks for the nice words.

Keep us updated on your writing activities, and any contest you might eventually enter.

If you want to share some pieces with us that is cool as well.

Finally, I am planning to launch a small short stories contest on the blog.

We will see how it will go.

Hello Mike

This isn't my job, but welcome on board! ;)
It would be great if you could share with us some of your short stories anytime.

Best Wishes
