Hi everyone Currently writing a short story for Extension English and I'm struggling with where to go next, so I looked around for some help on Google and found this forum. I'm 16, from the Blue Mtns, NSW. Big animal lover, I love reading, enjoy writing, a very loyal music-listener, love shopping and a huge movie buff. I look forward to getting to know you all and to reading stories around the site. Josie.
Welcome to the forums Josie. I'm sure you'll find the help you're looking for here, the forums are filled with very helpful people. And I hope you enjoy the company. If you need any help with anything around the site, please feel free to ask. I'm always happy to lend a hand.
Hi Banzai, Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm already enjoying exploring the site, it looks very interesting.

Hello Josie, 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!
Thanks for the welcome Torana and Cogito. I've explored a little bit, but didn't realise I should post in the Review Room first, sorry about that, I'll look around it now. Thanks again.
You are most welcome and there is no need to apologise for not realising at first. With anything new, it takes time to work your way around. Just relax and enjoy. Enjoy your stay.
I had a look around the Review Room but couldn't understand how it works. Could I get some help? Thanks ETA: Just found the room
