Hi! I joined a few weeks ago but I just realised I forgot to do an intro (too busy reading.) I’ve been writing on and off for a few years, had a few short stories published and dabbled in novel writing – sometimes via NaNo, but not exclusively.

Anyway, I thought it was about time I stopped lurking and introduced myself!

Welcome to the site, Penny! There are plenty of things to help you on the site, including Zette’s Two-Year Novel course, for which signups are being accepted right now. Also, come join us in chat sometime. Lots of great people hang out there.

Hi Penny! Welcome officially to FM!

I tend to lurk, too, but you’re most welcome to join in all our discussions.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Happy writing,

Hello there! Welcome to our little writing corner on the internet. I know all about being busy. This time of year is bad for being busy. Let us know if you have any questions and be on the look-out for workshops and classes in 2013!

Hello and welcome to Forward Motion! I’m glad you found your way here and came out of lurking. As others have suggested, FM has an upcoming Two Year Novel course that is taught by Zette. I found the class fun and helpful. Have a look around the site and be sure to check out chat. If you have any quesitons, please ask.

In Remembrance of Holly Lisle: Writer, Teacher, and Inspiration It is with great sadness that I share the news of…

  I’m so sorry to hear this. She was a beacon of writing hope for me, as for so many others, for many years.

  My condolences to Holly and her friends and family. I was a member here back in (I think) the late 90s-early 00s when I was writing my first SF novel, and Forward Motion welcomed me in with open arms, including Holly herself. I learned so much in the time I spent here, and I’m glad to say that that wonky little novel turned into a self-published trilogy and the start of a self-publishing career. And on top of all that, I do in fact still pay it forward by going to cons to help those just starting out. Holly was such a great inspiration in that respect and she will be missed.

  The news was so sad.
  I am thankful Holly touched so many lives with her writing and teaching.
  I have all her writing courses to read through again and again to learn something new to add to my stories.
  And I can reread Holly’s novels and keep in touch with other writers on her forum and here.

  I have spent several days trying to find the right words to say. Holly and I knew each other since 1992 when I started her Writer’s Digest class. From her first note to me to her last, Holly was unwaveringly kind and helpful. I followed her to online sites and created her first personal site.
  
  Holly did two things very well: she wrote wonderful books and helped people take their writing to higher levels. Those of us who worked with her are better for it.
  
  I miss Holly. I always looked forward to her new books. I checked constantly for new notes. This is a loss I cannot begin to express.
