hello from sunny sandy eggo!
San Diego based writer always looking to share with other writers. Busy these days adapting my first novel to the screen and even have a producer
interested in a read of the script. I've been on other writer's forums and found them to be full of destructive and negative snark. Hoping this is a
chill forum. Cheers

Hey and welcome to the forum, Shawn!
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the vibe in this forum. I can promise you this: If or when snarky, destructive and troublesome visitors
venture into AWF, they are promptly put in their place.
We pride ourselves on being much more than a forum for writers to congregate and discuss how smart they are. We're a family of writers dedicated to
improving our craft and supporting each other along that journey. We may not always see eye-to-eye on every subject, but do our best to treat each
other with respect and decency.
Congratulations on finishing your novel and possibly grabbing the attention of a producer. That's great! Do write anything else: articles, short
stories, plays, poetry, etc.?

Nobody's snarky here, Shawn, only helpful. We're all in this together. Welcome to the most human online writer's colony you will ever experience.

I have friends down in the San-Dee. Drunks, but friends nonetheless. 
Welcome! 
I seemed to be looking down from an immense height upon a twilit grotto, knee-deep with filth, where a white-bearded daemon swineherd drove about
with his staff a flock of fungous, flabby beasts whose appearance filled me with unutterable loathing.

I might be snarky if I get mistyped, but otherwise you are probably safe

Welcome to the board, and congrats on having a producer interested in your work!
I’m sure you’ll find us to be a warm, friendly, helpful group…oh, and fun, too! Not much negative talk here.
Something you might find really exciting here is that we have short story contests with cash prizes and publishing contracts in our print anthologies.
It’s a great motivator to get you writing, and we all cheer each other on.
Here’s a thread you should definitely visit as soon as possible—it tells you all about our contests on the board, other opportunities for submissions,
cool features of the board and more! It'll also tell you about secret, private parts of the forum not everyone can get to without permission, and how
to access password locked sections of the board as well.
http://accentuatewritersforum.com/files/viewthread.php?tid=6044
If you have any questions, feel free to ask... if I can't answer it, someone else probably can!
Enjoy your stay! Keep writing!
