Howdy from SA! I've been turning pens for a little over 2 years now and loving every minute of it. I'm so impressed by the talent and craftsmanship shown through this site. I've just joined the Alamo pen turners club. Couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to share with. I've done woodworking since junior high school. I'm glad a site like this exists.

Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
