Welcome to the AARland part of the forums,
@john trask .
@High Speed Flying Gladius has given you a good start. It really is that basic.
However, I would add one more basic step before trying to post an AAR. I would read some first. Don't be afraid to model yours after ones that you like. I thought I had read enough when I started and I was wrong. I have learned a lot about the way to style an AAR while here. I would recommend the AAR by
@High Speed Flying Gladius as
a good example. This is a relatively new AAR and it has found readers and acclaim.
Before starting, I would also consult the
SolAARium for tips about writing and how to construct an AAR.
Once you have posted your AAR, I would also add the step of advertising it in the
Inkwell.
You may also want to interact with other writers in the main part of the
AARland forum. And when you feel comfortable, feel free to drop into the
bAAR to interact with other writAARs there.
Here's
a link that goes over the basics of writing AARs from the SolAARium. Here's another SolAARium
thread on starting AARs. Finally, yet another SolAARium posting with
a list of tips for new AAR writers. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
