    Hello!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by starrynight89, May 14, 2008.

    I've been posting frequently since I joined but I decided to let everyone know that...I'm new! :)

    And as a full-time college student, I barely have time to sit down and write for an extended period of time but at times sacrifice studying when I feel creative. . .

    I love, love, love to read though I haven't been doing a lot of that lately. School work just ruins hobbies. I'll probably catch up over the summer though...Oh and everyone I've met so far is so friendly so, thank you! :D

    Hello Starry Night, 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!
