Hello from Pennsylvania

[TomS]

Hello everyone!

I'm Tom, but since there's probably more than one Tom here, you can either call me TomS or Alan. I've written since I was a teenager and I'm finally writing a science fiction novel. It's intended to be the first book in a trilogy, actually. I'm at 26,000+ words at the moment. Naturally, I really want to get this whole thing right so I figured I'd join here and see how other people are doing it. Also, it will be nice to talk to other science fiction writers. I hope to hear from you all soon

Cheers!
TomS

Welcome.

A warm welcome to the Chrons, Alan.

Hi TomS/Alan - you expect to complete your novel? And you came to the chrons, thief of all concentration/ time/ etc. etc.

Welcome, enjoy (75 word challenge on at mo, why not have a go?)

[alchemist]

Welcome TomS. You're right; there's a TomG also, so you chose wisely.

Since I'm supremely new here, I don't know my way around. Where do I go to accept the word challenge?

[springs]

Hiya, they're in the aspiring writing thread, under writing challenges, June. The topic is innocence, theme is Sf/fantasy. There's a quarterly 300 challenge, too, but that's not for another month or two.

Howdy TomS. Welcome to Chrons.

I guess I can forgive you for being a Yankee, iffen you can forgive me for being a Texan.

[TomS]

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. There's nothing wrong with being from Texas.

Hello and welcome to the Chrons!

Oh, I think we're going to get along just fine.

Greeting from a fellow rust belt-ian? I usually find my self at the edge of Ohio and and Penn for work. Take a look at the challenges, they are both fun and instructive. You might be too nice to the Texan, you know how it goes, all my ex's live in Texas. (Probably the only country song I remember, ha).

Welcome home TomS
I recommend a leisurely stroll round the grounds over the guided tour. And since people here are as friendly as they come don't hesitate to ask for direction should you find yourself lost.

There are some interesting characters hanging out in the lounge, so if you suddenly find yourself face to face with something out of someone else's wildest fantasies, just order a drink and relax your probably in the tea room.

Welcome, though technically you've been here longer than me
