    I guess I'm no longer new per se, but still quite green. I was dragged here by dear old Rumpole and never got the chance to introduce myself.

    I like to write, I like to read, I like to scribble, and I love making digital images.

    Oh, I'm goofier than Goofy somedays, but then there are some days...:eek:

    Hello zorell, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

    No relation to Zor-El, I presume...

    Posting your own work should not be the very first thing you do here. It is really worthwhile to see what other people have done to improve their writing, and see if some of it applies to your writing as well. That is part of why we require members to review other members' work before posting their own for review. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, other than content and copyright rules, on showcasing your work in your member blog.

    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 as well, and be sure to read through the forum rules, too, to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Respect for one another is our principal mandate.

    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? for more information.

    Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!

    Oops sorry Z! I don't know how I missed your intro. Well, once again, it's great to have you here.

    Thankya'll for the salutations and all. I just realized something that I find funny, the little row of boxes under post counts are smart-alecs. But I like them.


    PS. I have slight OCD about even versus odd, and this just HAD to be an odd post, didn't it?! Gotta post something else, quick-and no, I won't sacrifice quality for quantity.
