Hi Everyone
You can call me Frannie. How is everyone? I am pleased to meet you all and hope to make some new friends here. I have wanted to write a novel for a few years but have not really paid attention to this fact until now. I am just about to complete a degree in a subject that I don't know why I even started. I have applied to study Creative Writing at a post-graduate level, although am not sure whether I will get in. If I don't I am willing to take a step back and do another degree first.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum Frannie. Glad to have you here.

Hello Frannie, 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. Remember to check out our FAQ (http://www.writingforums.org/faq.php) as well!

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 forums on this site, therefore, are true workshops, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work (and on that note, please only post each item for review in one Review Room forum). 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!
