Hola, my name is Marie. ^.^ I like writing poetry more so than stories. Mainly because I have a short attention span, and I loose intrest in things I write easily. I plan on being writer of some sorts when I grow up, because that's the about the only thing I'm good at. o___o
Hi, Chibi. Welcome aboard.... I have to tell you, I can hardly read your post - don't know if it's my laptop but the writing is rather small for the colour. Anthony
Hey Anthony. It's not your laptop, I just accidently picked size one instead of size two. My bad. ^-^; -Marie
Hola Marie, Welcome to the Writing Forums. (Actually, the color doesn't help either - orange on white isn't a great contrast on my screen). Posting your own work should not be the very first thing you do here. It is really worthwhile to see what other people have done to improve their writing, and see if some of it applies to your writing as well. That is part of why we require members to review other members' work before posting their own for review. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, other than content and copyright rules, on showcasing your work in your member blog. 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. And while you're looking around, don't forget to check out our Weekly Short Story Contest and Weekly Poetry Contest. They actually run more than one week apiece, but any member may enter, and all members are urged to vote for their favorites. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Hi Marie, welcome to the forums. The writing isn't so bad on my screen, but i'd advise at least a darker coloured orange as a lot of people will be finding it intimidating to read
All fixed. Sorry about that. Didn't realize others would have a hard time seeing it. ^.^; Is purple better? Hello and thank you everybody for welcoming me. =]
