Hello all

[Jimi N]

Hello!

Jim here. I'm new to Litopia, love what I've seen so far.

Currently on a sabbatical from work, I have rediscovered my love of writing and crucially, I'm finally allowing myself to believe that what I write might actually have some value.

Right now I'm working on a YA novel about a boy in a coma, as well as a blog, and various other bits and pieces too.

Really looking forward to meeting and sharing here. Thanks!

[Jimi N]

So nice to meet everyone.

I don't know why my photo is sideways, I'm not trying to be deliberately eccentric. Honest!

So I cracked the ten thousand word barrier today on the YA novel, apparently young adult novels go from 55 to 80 thousand words. I have some way to go. I'm experiencing conflicting feelings - it's nice to have so much room to play in, and simultaneously it's daunting to have so much room to fill. One day at a time, anyway.

 

[Robinne Weiss]

Welcome to the colony! The sideways photo is good. Makes me think you're an astronaut or something. I'd just roll with it.

 

[AliG]

Welcome Jimi. I like sideways too; certainly different.

 

[Richard Wilkes]

Welcome Jimi!

 

[Nikky Lee]

Welcome! Congrats on your 10k word count too, as you say, one day at a time, one word after another

[Geoff]
