Greetings, all! I am now doing what I've asked everyone else to do. I am Kent Graham, PW graduate student, and -- for my sins -- moderator of this list. At this point in my writing career, I don't have a preferred category ... I just want to learn to write. As a _reader_, I enjoy all kinds of fiction -- science fiction (mostly hard), mystery, historical -- as long as it's well written. And while I may not be able to define "well written," I know it when I don't slam the book shut and say, "I can do better than _this_." I look forward to hearing from all of you -- sharing ideas, working out problems, and rejoicing in your successes. Speak up! -->kg
