    Hello There!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Tootsie's Mom, Aug 28, 2007.

    My Avatar is a picture of my kitty, Tootsie. That makes me Tootsie's Mom. ;) I haven't seen much of this site yet, but it promises to be interesting and informative. Are any of you reading this published writers (print or e, fiction or non)? And yes, self-published does count.

    Gotta go now. Tootsie is crying to be fed. (She is now a mature cat that weighs two pounds less than a horse. Not bad for a stray 10-day old kitten found on the side of the road by her dead mother.)

    Respectfully,

    TM

    Hello Tootsie's Mom (and Tootsie), Welcome to the Writing Forums.

    In answer to your question, I am not a published writer, but we do have several among our members.

    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!

    Welcome to the Writing Forums! I hope you like it here. Yes, I'm a published writer and so are there many others, including an extensive breed of self-publishers. I hope you can learn from us, as well as teach us a few things, in a mutually acceptable manner. Don't hesitate to ask for help!
