    Hello Everyone

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Archammer, Jun 19, 2008.

    Hi,
    I am an amature writer at best. I don't do it that often. Its more of a way to get through difficult situations. I have always had a knack for heavy metaphor, and i tend to abuse it thoroughly.

    I just wanted a place to show some of my stuff off and see what other people think of it and this seems to be it. I hope someone enjoys something I have to offer.

    Thanks,
    Me

    I use writing as an escape from difficulties too. It's actually one of the reasons I like it so much.

    But hiya either way! :D

    Hello Archammer, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

    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!

    I wasn't sure where to put this, so i figured here was as good a place as any. I have only been on the site for 4 or 5 days and I can already tell its great. The people are freindly, and the criticism is actually constructive. This is easily the best writing forum I have ever been a part of.
