Sillymaxx saying hello to everyone

Hello everyone. I just came across this site yesterday. I spent several hours checking out the site and lurking in the forum. I must say this is the most professional writing site I've come across. Many of you are very helpful. I think the forum posts were the icing on the cake and made me want to join.

I've submitted my first piece and will wait until it is reviewed just to get an idea of what types of writing is accepted. I've done a lot of writing but never really submitted it anywhere except maybe on my own website(s). Who knows, maybe one day, I'll be a customer here too.

I hope to meet all of you soon!

Cynthia AKA sillymaxx

yes there's a story behind my username. Just need to find the category for that one.

Hi, welcome to the gang!
I almost didn't read your post because of the name (with the extra XX's I thought it was another spammer....) Can't wait to hear the real story

Sound like you'll do well here. Take it slow, ask plenty of questions, and keep on writing. We're all here to help if we can.

Celeste,

Thank you for the welcome. I never thought about the XX's. Maxx is or was the name of a pet bird my ex-husband and I had. He was a Nanday Conure. He was always doing silly things that made us laugh. So since day one of my having a presence on the internet, I have been known as sillymaxx. There are many stories about him. Maybe I should find a niche to write his stories.

I've actually submitted 2 pieces of work so far. I don't really have any specific questions yet. After browsing through the site and the forums, looks like most of them are covered in the general sense.

Thank you again for your welcome and encouragement.

Cynthia/Sillymaxx
