    Hi

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by elusive, Oct 18, 2007.

    Hello,

    I am 22 years old. I currently live in South Korea with my husband and my three pets. I'm what my friends call a reluctant writer. I am a fairly new writer and I'm not very sure about my "voice" yet. I decided to join this forum to try to find one, or atleast to find topics to write about. I'm terrible at editing and format and I'm trying to work on that. I have a bunch of peices of stories that I started and haven't finished yet and I work on a million things at one time. I'm not writing to get published, it's really just a hobby of mine. I also enjoy eating foods from all over the world and I'll pretty much try anything once.

    Hi Elusive :)

    Welcome to the Writing Forums, I'm fairly new myself.

    What pets do you own?

    I look forward to seeing some of your work.

    I own 2 cats and a dog. I used to own a ferret but I was unable to bring him with me, so my sister is taking care of him for me. :)

    Well make yourself feel home elusive, we're all helpers of one another when it comes to writing. I'm sure if you talk and write with writers of all calibers, you'll open up and decide to write more often. And if all goes well, you might as well decide to get yourself published. So ask for help if needed and enjoy your time here.

    Hello elusive, 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? for more information.

    Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
