Welcome… I’m New Here! New member

[Allen N]

Hi, I'm Allen, new member, new writer. My day job is designing rocket engines but my aspiration is writing fiction, which is a heck of a lot more challenging. I look forward to being a member of the Litopia community.

Welcome. Rocket engines and fiction sounds like you may well discover the secret of life.

Hi Allen, welcome. What genre do you write?

Hello - very nice to meet you

Thanks! Maybe fictional rocket engines will take me to secret regions of the universe.

Hi Allen, welcome. What genre do you write?

Thanks. Science fiction. My one story has been described by my novelist sister as Physics Noir.

Hey @Allen N, welcome aboard Sounds like you've found your niche. You could be the next Andy Weir!

Welcome.

Physics Noir sounds intriguing.

Having recently joined, I can assure you that people are genuinely friendly...if, on occasion, direct (which I like).

What part of the world are you in?

Thanks! At cocktail parties I can be either a rocket scientist or (unpublished) author, depending on the needs of the moment. ;-)

Thanks! It seems unlikely, but certainly a worthy aspiration.

Thanks. I live in Washington, DC, an endless source of inspiration.

Hi I'm curious why you changed your name. Wasn't your story Shattered Shards just on here as RokitAI? My Uncle worked for NASA in the 60's developing rocket fuel. Where are you based? Science Fiction is a good genre to start in, but readers have changed in recent years.

My account got deleted as robo-spam. Apparently the spam guard didn't like my screen name so now I'm just Allen N. I will repost Shattered Shards. I think it was you that posted the helpful comments, but it was deleted so that's from memory. If so, thank you. I'm from Washington, DC (not Tokyo). Shattered Shards is my first (and only) short story. I know many people who knew 60's era rocket scientists, so there's probably a short convergence of mutual connections.
