Noticing Newbies

I'm new and feeling a little lost and overwhelmed. With the Birthday Bash happening just after joining, it's like being in a whirlwind. I'm really glad I'm here though and with some time and a little help I hope to learn my way around. My main interests are Sci-Fi, Suspense, and Mystery Novels. I've written 3 but never tried to publish the last 2. I have been trying to expand out to shorter fiction types but I find it more challenging.
My goal is to be a published author of multiple novels.

I love to read a much wider variety of genres than I like to write. I'm here to meet other writers and be surrounded by people who share a common passion for writing.
