View Full Version : Generic newbie post
tomoyan 10-08-2007, 05:17 PM Hello, I'm Tomo. I'm a teenager, and I live down in sunny (LOL) New Zealand. I've been writing seriously for almost two years now, and I love it. I'm probably best known for my work on fanfiction dot net, where I go by Tomo Potter. Last year I was a NaNoWriMo participant, though I was forced to drop out, and I'm making the attempt again this year. I'm also doing some writing stuff for an online project that I'll be hopefully getting paid for soon.
The main reason I joined this forum is that I want to find some new writing challenges, and really work on my skills seriously as a writer. I'm looking into going professional, and I want to really challenge myself here, to maked sure I'm up to it.
In other areas, I like pixel art, dancing, and making up silly little things, like my fish shaking club. I'm vegetarian and wiccan, and I like geese. I'm also bisexual and female, with a girlfriend, and just as a warning, I don't take crap from anyone.
Well, that's about it. Peace out, I'm off to explore the forum!

Hi mate. A great welcome from the North East of England.
PS What does that word sunny mean?
tomoyan 10-09-2007, 03:31 PM Thanks everyone for the warm welcome :)
Funny Bunny: Why yes we do >=D
Gannon: Thank you ^__^ I will have to check it out.
yfc54: I think it's when the sky shines, and you see that big bright yellow thing. It hasn't been sunny here for ages though. Just perpetual rain, cold and cloud. Damn Antarctica, giving us all it's cold. *shakes fist*

Cogito 10-09-2007, 07:09 PM Hello Tomo, Welcome to the Writing Forums.
If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners.
As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room on this site, therefore, is a true workshop, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? (http://www.writingforums.org/showpost.php?p=65432&postcount=1) for more information.
Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Welcome! Hope you're settling in ok :D I'm attempting NaNoWriMo this year too :)
