Welcome

Writing fiction is often a lonely endeavor.
I think it shouldn’t be.

So I made this site.

Intentionally small, totally free of ads, nothing for sale, no SEO concerns, no attempt to drive traffic here. Pretty much invitation-only, but anyone that stumbles onto it can invite themselves, so not really. I won’t even say it’s “got that personal touch” because that implies (to me, at least) warmth and friendliness, and my interpersonal skills are not always the best.

My goal is simple: try to provide a place of some value to writers. Somewhere to discuss writing, exchange information, share works and receive feedback, maybe make a few friends, have some fun.

I’m going to start off small, centered around a forum. Why does the world need another forum, you ask. My brief thoughts for bothering with one are contained here: About the Forum. If you just want to jump right in, a link to the forum itself can be found in the footer of each page.

Useful Stuff contains links to places with information of use to writers of fiction. Suggestions for additions are welcome. The page was created using the free Raindrop.io plan.

My love for writing fiction comes from a love of reading fiction, and this seems like as good a place as any to post some information collected over the years about some of my favorites: Writers & Books

I am not anything professional when it comes to graphic design, web design, or coding, but I don’t let that stop me. You shouldn’t either; the web needs more small and personal sites. I thought it would be a good idea to discuss the tools I use to mangle create the pages, and a bit about why I made the site the way it is, found at: About the Site

Since the world doesn’t need another blog, and I don’t much care for the format of blogging either, I decided to make something different to share my thoughts. I wanted to keep it separate from this site for various reasons, and before you go there, I thought it best to warn you a bit: About the Albert Terego site.

At some point, you will probably want to know a bit about me. That can be found here: Greetings Terran
