Hi all, just a quick hello. Im new here, so here's a few things about me. Im 43 years young, married with two kids. Im a carpenter by trade, but have a hankering to be a writer. I have a vivid imagination, and a few stories in my head that are trying to get out and onto paper. I live near Stratford on Avon. England. I'm currently coming to the end of my first novel, in it's first draft form, lots more work to do yet. Have also started another, of which i shall post up the first chapter for you to read and rip apart. I've also writen two kids books, non of my work is published yet, but i hope that it will in the future. Anyway, thanks for listening, all the best Spud. Ps, i have a terrible time with spelling.
Hello there! Welcome to the forums and I'm sure that you'll fit in and make plenty of friends soon enough. If you need any help feel free to ask. The only thing I feel that I really need to mention at this point is that before posting your work you're supposed to review two other pieces. Don't worry too much about your spelling, its nothing a spell checker won't fit and i'm sure there are plenty of people here who can help.
Welcome to the Writing forums. It's okay if you have problem spelling - my posts are pretteh dificultt som timmes. Here's a basic welcome from all of us. It should be obvious, but incase it isn't, let me explain. The Writing Problems Area is exclusively where opinions on different ways to write, blockages in writing styles and similar problems can be discussed. In the Review Rom, you can get critical appreciation and/or analysis of your written material. Behold, you must first review two pieces of writing before posting your own. This is ensure the pieces are evaluated to the most. Other than this, we have Writing Cotnests, weekly and monthly, where you can submit your writing. We also have Word games, Book Discussion and so on, classified under Community interaction. It may interest you if you're just hanging around. adamant has been kind enough to put many of the things I have mentioned or missed out on in one comprehensive place. If you want to check it out, see the Newbie Packets: Noobie Packets! - Writing Forums Enjoy it here, and don't feel shy to ask for help. We are all here to teach and learn in a mutual environment. And we hope you can do the same. Regards and Best Wishes!
Hello Spud, 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!
