Welcome I joined a few days ago myself and already my writing output has increased. Hope to see you around the forum and get the best out of it.
Great to have you here and I'm sure someone will pick up your posts shortly and offer their thoughts. If you have any questions for us then do let us know and we'd see if we could help you out. Remember we run poetry and short story competitions to encourage you to write. Find this week's topics at the below links.

Hello storygirl, 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!
