Topic: I'm no longer active BUT...
Hi, I've wanted to stop by for a while to give thanks and tell everyone what an amazing place TNBW was for me. I stayed on the site for quite a while, workshopped a whole novel here and read many members' entire work. I learned a ton and I always tell everyone that my time here was invaluable. I am now a published author, and there is no doubt in my mind that the time I spent here helped me get there. If you are new, stick with it. It is a lot of work, but critiques are critical to one's grows as an author.
Thanks, everyone. Write on!
