Never joined or did this kind of thing before. But relocating to new city - and find myself w. some extra time while away from my family during the week. And I like to write and read new writers. In the business world - Human Resources - but I think I have a knack for writing and communication. Plan to exercise it in the forum. Live in Wisconsin - cold as heck these days - and plenty of snow. Looking forward to some good reads - and writes.
Well - today it was just in the teens (farenheit (sp?) this morning. And the rest of this week I don't think it will get above 22 degrees. Brrrr!
Hello Doug, 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! 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!
Heyur Doug, welcome to Wf.org. I am Heather and can normally be found around here every day and if you would ever like something reviewed, need any help of simply want to chat then send a PM my way and I'll see what I can do. Hope to see you around here more often and enjoy it here. Heather
