    Hi!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Lucy E., May 25, 2008.

    Hi there! My name's Lucy. I'm 12; I live in South Wales in Britain (Wales is NOT part of England, for some reason everyone seems to think it is. Just thought I'd point that out). I've been writing since I was very young; I'm currently working on a fantasy novel set between New York City and my hometown in Wales. 275 pages so far!

    Hello Lucy, 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. 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!

    Hey! I've been to England, Scotland and Ireland but not Wales. My grandmother didn't include it in the trip because, and I quote, "It's positively beautiful but there's nothing to see." I'm still trying to figure that one out.
