Been writing on and off for a couple of years, inspired by many different aspects of life. I have a wide taste in fiction, as long as it is written and told well, nearly any story can be great. Thanks, DG.
Hello D. G., 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!
Welcome, friend! Hello relatively new writer with the unusual user I.D. Welcome to the forums. Settle in and whip us up some brain food! Hope you have a great time here! BTW, I don't know about you, but I just love the way those English girls talk. "You can't have everything... where would you put it? —Steven Wright
