    Why, hello there!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by M2013, Jan 6, 2013.

    This is literally my second posting, (or is it my third) well anyway it should have been my first. I was just so excited about finding this forum I had to start asking and reading away. Why on earth haven't I seen this years before. Anyway I love creative writing. Unfortunately I'm not famously talented- it is just something I enjoy and live by. I'm currently in the process of relocating from Kentucky to New Mexico. I'm excited because I'm a Colorado kid and it is a nine hour drive to my favorite spot, Estes Park. Furthermore I'm working on my masters so my creative writing tends to be on little notes through out my house, work, and multiple purses as well as various journals started and never finished.

    Cannot wait to read and contribute to the forum.

    Toodles!

    Welcome to Writing Forums, M!

    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 requirements. 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, Cogito, Lemex and Dante Dases) 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.
