    Effie Robinson - Award winning author (well in her stories anyway).

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by effielorraine, May 20, 2008.

    Ey up - (That's my way of saying HELLO my local dialect)

    My name is Effie and I am Twenty years old, I live in England with my Partner, Daughter and my cheesy smelling sister.

    My career? Well that is a joke - I have come from being a receptionist>to a manager > Team leader > bar manager > Student nurse > NOTHING.

    So I finally have the time to live my dream and spend all day writing.

    I find my particular skill to be poetry but I will turn my hand to anything particulally if that's where the acclaim is.

    I always give 100% and have a morbid fear of failure - I will be a success.

    That's all i'd like to share for now, but if anybody is interested in having a chat or even finding out a little more about England, i'm here - message me.

    I look forward to reading your poetry, and would love to converse about your thoughts on literary acclaim.

    Hello Effie, 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!
