Hi there...
My name is Firestorm, and I was prodded by Sifirela to come here. I usually don't speak much until I get to know someone, and as a writer and a Web development student, I tend to blank out a lot at times..
Okay... It's mostly every day...
I have actually published my first novel, The Warriors: The Beginning, through Outskirts Press, just to see if I could do it. I wanted to see if I could be like so many authors on there who have made a suitable income through self publishing.
But as the economy went down, so too did the possibility of getting the novel "out" there. Right now, I am in the process of trying my hand at finding a literary agent for the sequel. I have brushed and polished my query, and I plan to send it into the Shark for input.
Outside of all of that, I am relatively friendly, and helpful at times, though always willing to learn. A writer never stops learning, and if they do, their writing becomes dry and unapproachable.
I intend to check back at this forum a few times a week. It is nice to meet all of you, and thank you for listening to my boring introduction.
