    Hey all!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by infernal, Apr 9, 2012.

    Hi all!

    Looking forward to many interesting conversations & reviews on this site. I swear I've stumbled upon it in the past but I'm ready to reconnect to the scene. I have written a few novels and short stories but unfortunately never gotten publish :( Hopefully one day I can write a guide or story on how to get published to help others out. I write on the side like many authors & authors-to-be, but it's a fantastical (no pun intended) thing to do ;)

    I'll check out the threads, I just wanted to give a shout outs to all readers & writers! :D

    Welcome to the forum. There are certainly some interesting conversations to be had here. Hope the place takes you closer to your goals. It's a good thing to do to take a look at the rules. It helps. Look around and happen to have a little fun in the process then that's ok too.

    Hi Infernal,
    If the publishing elements are holding you back I'd recommend reading the publishing sub-forum. There are several active discussions on many of the different aspects of publishing. Even if you are still in the writing process, the threads there are interesting to read. I find that planning ahead on what to do with the piece can be inspirational to the writing process.
    Have fun and Good Luck

    Welcome to Writing Forums, infernal!

    I hope you find what you're looking for here, whatever your interests in writing.

    This forum aims to provide the best workshopping resources on the internet, and to that end we have a few rules which you should familiarise yourself with before you get stuck in. The main section of the site is the Writing Workshop, where members can post their writing in order to receive critique of their work.

    However, before we allow members to post their work, they must have met some basic requirments. Firstly, you must have been a member for fourteen days, and have made twenty posts on the forum overall (please note, posts in Word Games do not count towards this). This is so that members, when they post their work, have familiarised themselves with the forums and contributed to them (as well as hopefully learned something for themselves). Secondly, members must provide two constructive reviews of other people's work for each piece of their own that they wish to post. This is because we believe that the focus of workshopping should be equally upon giving reviews as receiving them, as they allow a writer to practice and improve their editing skills, which they can then apply to their own writing.

    Beyond the Writing Workshop, you will find that we have extensive forums for discussion of aspects of writing, as well as a community area for general discussion. We also run periodic short story and poetry contests, which are good for challenging yourself and expanding your skills.

    If you have any questions or problems, then the moderators (myself and Cogito) should be your first port of call. Any technical problems with the site itself should be directed to Daniel, the site administrator and owner. I would recommend you have a look over the rules so that you know what to expect, and what is expected. But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your time here.
