    Hello all

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by tiae2011, Mar 6, 2012.

    Just popping in and saying hello. I've had some immense urges to write lately, so I figured joining a writing forum seemed like a good idea!

    My name is Tia. I enjoy long walks on the beach, romantic dinners, and any other introductory clichés you can think of.

    Hello! I am also incredibly new here but I find it polite to give warm welcomes as I was greeted with such. I have to agree with you; A forum does sound like a good idea to get some creativity out. What types of things will you be posting here.

    Welcome! :)

    Just make sure to be here two weeks, have 20 posts, and have critiqued at least 2 works before you post your own stories/poems/scripts/etc for review.

    Welcome to Writing Forums, Tia!

    I hope you find what you're looking for here, whatever your interests in writing.

    This forum aims to provide the best workshopping resources on the internet, and to that end we have a few rules which you should familiarise yourself with before you get stuck in. The main section of the site is the Writing Workshop, where members can post their writing in order to receive critique of their work.

    However, before we allow members to post their work, they must have met some basic requirments. Firstly, you must have been a member for fourteen days, and have made twenty posts on the forum overall (please note, posts in Word Games do not count towards this). This is so that members, when they post their work, have familiarised themselves with the forums and contributed to them (as well as hopefully learned something for themselves). Secondly, members must provide two constructive reviews of other people's work for each piece of their own that they wish to post. This is because we believe that the focus of workshopping should be equally upon giving reviews as receiving them, as they allow a writer to practice and improve their editing skills, which they can then apply to their own writing.

    Beyond the Writing Workshop, you will find that we have extensive forums for discussion of aspects of writing, as well as a community area for general discussion. We also run periodic short story and poetry contests, which are good for challenging yourself and expanding your skills.

    If you have any questions or problems, then the moderators (myself and Cogito) should be your first port of call. Any technical problems with the site itself should be directed to Daniel, the site administrator and owner. I would recommend you have a look over the rules so that you know what to expect, and what is expected. But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your time here.

    Greeting, salutations and welcome to the forum Tia. Nothing wrong with a little urge to write, get it once in a while myself. I haven't had the urge to walk on the beach in many, many years. It helps to read the rules and you'll find a lot of people that can give a hand at improving your skills when it comes to writing, so have fun.

    Thanks everyone! :]

    and BlankLink, I'm not entirely sure what I'll be posting here yet. I don't have any particular favorite type of writing, but I hope to develop it while here.
