G'day all!

I can't believe I only just discovered this forum. I blame the fact that I've been using blogger all these years :-)

Anyhow, a bit of info:

Name: Naomi
Age: 30-ish
Hobbies Collecting blogs (eeeek!), knitting, writing fiction, writing 'serious' articles, participating on forums (really!), reading books (mostly sci-fi and fantasy pulp).
Interesting (maybe) stuff about me: I tend to wear my hair very short (think Sinead O'Connor) and often brightly coloured. I have a samoan armband tattoo. I have an offbeat sense of humour, which I use a lot. Sometimes people laugh. Sometimes I'm unsure whether they're genuinely amused, or laughing because they're shocked and horrified I had open heart surgery last October.

Howzat?

Hi Naomi- welcome. 

I know another reason you've only just discovered the forum .... its only been going a few days.

[miscmum]

Hi Naomi, welcome!



I had a look at your site, and I like your fiction-stuff. I'm a sometime writer myself. I hope you've recovered well from the surgery.

Hi Nomesque

Ian is right - we launched on the 30th of December.

Welcome to the forums, looking forward to getting to know more about you.. 

[Nomesque]

Wowsers - yes, I can see now that it's new.... but damn, this is very well-done (and extremely well-populated) for such a young forum! Well-done, guys

Misc-mum - thanks for taking a look! I'm glad you like it

Hi Naomi,

I was actually just about to start reading your blog (eerie really) I came across it through your comment on Riayn's blog ( I'm the iced coffee addict :-) )

I look forward to getting to know you better and reading your blog

Hehe - funny! Although I guess it makes perfect sense, given that there's a link to this forum in that exact post... :-)

[Mistress B]

Hi Naomi, interesting stories on your blog

Nice to meet you 

[FormerAdmin]

Hi Naomi,

welcome

Will look at your blog ASAP (frustrated would-be fiction writer myself)



Cheers, Andrew

[Lani]

I'm sure ther are quite few frustrated would-be fiction writers amongst all of us.  I know I'm one. But blogging isn't "next-best".  It's just a whole different medium.

Hi Naomi.  Welcome!

Hi there Naomi, and welcome. Watch out for that blog collecting. As I'm always saying, it's very addictive.

He he he.  I think we will get along fabulously!

Welcome to the forums.  There is a fantastic bunch of people here.

Welcome to the forum Naomi and thanks so much for visiting my blog and making me feel better about that unhealthy lunch I had.

Can you ever outgrow 30-ish?

[Sueblimely]

I am 50ish and loving it  and hi Naomi - I don't collect blogs, I just seem to collect domain names intending them to be blogs.

[Lightening]

Hi Naomi and welcome! 

I've always wanted to be a writer - that's what I LOVE about blogging.  I can write AND publish and no-one can tell me it's not "good enough" to publish.   

I am finding so many aussie blogs I'd never heard of before.  How awesome is that????   

[Nomesque]

^^ very true about the publishing! I can't help thinking that this is the way writing+reading is headed... far more computer-based and desire-driven (ie, hits on sites) rather than paper-based and publisher-driven. It'll be interesting to see in action.

I've found heaps of new aussie blogs too... love it!
